Can you explain what is happening in your code? First off, in pylab mode this should be drawn 20 times, because in interactive mode plot forces a draw and draw does too, so you should get 20 draws. Secondly, ipython in pylab mode for some backends (Qt, GTK and WX) run the GUI mainloop in a thread and I am not sure what will happen with the "raw_input" which you expect to be blocking (it is not supported). Folks have had various successes with getting blocking input for matplotlib in interactive sessions, but Gael has made the most progress. See the ginput function in svn -- "ginput'' in pylab or matplotlib.pyplot -- matplotlib.figure.Figure.ginput in the API from pylab import arange, plot, sin, ginput, show t = arange(10) plot(t, sin(t)) print "Please click" x = ginput(3, verbose=True) show() JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
