Hi, I've been playing w/both IDLE and IPython, using TkAgg in both cases as the back end. Also, I've got the latest matplotlib and ipython versions and am using MacPython's 2.4.4 IDLE.
It seems that if IDLE is not invoked w/the -n flag, the figures that are drawn can often get the "whirling swirl of death" (i.e. they hang). Has it been other users' experience that the "-n" removes that problem (it mentioned this flag in the manual, but I didn't catch he motivation)? And if so, is there no other way to use IDLE when using matplotlib interactively? (The nice thing about IDLE is its "fresh" state each time you run a file; this goes away when -n is used). I'm pleased to report no whirling wheels when using matplotlib via IPython. By being able to compare behavior on both I might have found a bug: I can create plots to my hearts content in both, but when I ask to rescale the plots, e.g. axis([-.2,2.4,-2,2.4]), NOTHING happens to the figure drawn via IDLE, whereas the command works as expected in IPython. I hope posting this is useful. Feedback welcome. --b ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
