I am sorry, here the better explanation: I have a scirpt to reduce data. from time to time it should bring up an interactive matplotlib figure and then when I close the window it should continue.it is important for me that the script actually stops when opening the window. The problem is (which I found out just now) I am running this in ipython and if I close the window the gtk.mainloop() stays active and doesnt let me continue my script. So i'm looking for a fucntion I can call to stop the backend thread. I know there is a thread called gtk.gdk.thread_leave but I need the appropriate TK object which is the window(or matplotlib_object or whatever) to call this function. I am happy to use another backend but I am fairly new to tk and gtk in python so I didnt see anything else. thanks in advance Wolfgang John Hunter wrote: > On 8/22/07, Wolfgang Kerzendorf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Is there any way I can stop the mainloop of the gtkagg backend. i know >> there is a threads_leave thing but I neec the Tk object from matplotlib. >> The problem is that my script doesnt continue after the window has been >> closed >> > > I am not exactly sure what you are after ...
