Hi Christopher, I don't know if my suggestion is the best way, but at least it may be useful ... regards Matthias example code: import matplotlib import matplotlib.pyplot as plt for i in range(5)+[14]: plt.figure(i) # generating some figures # get the figure numbers of all existing figures fig_numbers = [x.num for x in matplotlib._pylab_helpers.Gcf.get_all_fig_managers()] if 14 in fig_numbers: print "figure 14 exists" if plt.figure(14).number in fig_numbers: print "figure 14 exists" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
