Thanks Ryan,
Hm.. it's a bit strange.. I just installed matplotlib at Ubuntu using the
package manager :)
And, another linux machines (red hat enterprise) can do this too. For the
RHELs, I compiled matplotlib source code by myself.
figure() works very well, but what I want to do is to check the plots one by
one and thus
I can exit the script at any time I want (because I usually have lots of
figures to check and I don't want
to pop up every of them at the same time..)
Anyway, thank you very much!
