So, as the Matplotlib help page suggests, working through a test problem helped me narrow down my problem... but it still hasn't solved it. If I set ioff() at the main level, rather than in a function I call, it works. However, when I show() the plot, the code halts until I close it, which is not helpful. I feel like this is a problem I've resolved before, but googling hasn't helped me so far - I think the closest I have come are "show() hangs" threads that have no replies.
I guess this changes my question to: How can I draw all of my figures non-interactively, then show them and return to the python command prompt? ion() show() should work, I think, but does not.
