Not sure what region[:] is supposed to achieve.  You are creating a copy 
with the same name, so you are over-riding the original variable.





Hi there

I have a function where I want to display an image, get the user to
zoom in on a region of interest, and then return the axes limits.

But the problem is, I can only use it once, the second time it gets
called in a script the figure doesn't appear. I know this is to do
with show() not being supposed to be used multiple times, but I don't
know what I should be doing instead ... any tips? (I'm still new to
python btw)

Also, if there's a better (more pythonic way) to do what I'm doing, I
would appreciate your input. I'm not sure if what I'm doing with the
region variable is dodgy or not.

Currently, I'm doing this:

from pylab import *

def getroi(im):
    imshow(im)
    title('Zoom in to region of interest, then press a key')
    region = array([0, 0, 0, 0]) # Placeholder values

    def keypressed(event):
        region[:] = [round(i) for i in gca().axis()]
        close(gcf())

    # Connect keypressed to event handler
    connect('key_press_event', keypressed)

    show()
    return region



thanks,

Richard
