Since there don't seem to be any forthcoming answers, I have a somewhat different question. In the matplotlib FAQ, it states that using 'show()' puts you in the GUI mainloop (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#use-show). However, using plot commands on the ipython command line does not shut down the command line generally. I gathered from some googling that this is because ipython starts up the matplotlib graphics in a different 'thread', but I don't understand how this is done and most of what I've seen says it is bad.
So, my question now: How can I exit the GUI mainloop without closing the graphics windows?
