Hi -- I'm just starting with matplotlib and scipy on a Mac. I was able to get some plots to work under X (using the gtk+ renderer), but I wanted to avoid that and use CocoaAgg (that's the best option for mac, right?)
When using the default renderer, it looks like the window (under X11) was in a separate thread and new plots showed up until I cleared. However, when I use CocoaAgg (and ipython), plot brings up a blank metal-looking window, and then the plot I wanted, but ipython blocks until I close it. Is this expected? I downloaded everything from darwinports, and dropped in the .nibs which seemed to be in wrong -- they're XML and it doesn't complain. What I do: ------------ $ ipython -pylab Python 2.4.3 (#1, Feb 23 2007, 06:25:26) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. IPython 0.7.2 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. ? -> Introduction to IPython's features. %magic -> Information about IPython's 'magic' % functions. help -> Python's own help system. object? -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more. Welcome to pylab, a matplotlib-based Python environment. For more information, type 'help(pylab)'. In [1]: x = arange(-5,5,0.01) In [2]: y = sin(x) In [3]: plot(x,y) <after I close the window> Out[3]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x10c5620>] $ cat ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc backend: CocoaAgg Any help appreciated.
