Hi Jon, I can reproduce you observation using the following program > ------------------------------------------------- from pylab import plot, arange, ion ##ion() plot(arange(10), arange(10)) > --------------------------------------------------
uncommenting the second line resolves the problem at least for me. That is an additional switch to interactive mode is needed, but I can't explain why. My matplotlib is: In [1]:matplotlib.__version__ Out[1]: '0.98.6svn' Can you reproduce this behaviour and can anybody else explain that? regards Matthias On Saturday 28 February 2009 18:22:36 Jonathan Taylor wrote: > Hi, > > I have a simple script that plots x,y vals in an animation called anim.py > > data = read('data.dat') > > for i in range(10): > plot(data[:,0], data[:,1]) > > I am using ipython -pylab but when I do run anim.py it doesn't show > anything until I say show().
