Hi Blaine, let me first of all give you the reference to some documentation about the usage of show: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#use-show
Furthermore I may recommend you to replace your call of show in 'p' by a call of draw, which will yield the expected behaviour in ipythons pylab mode. Hopefully these hints are helpful to you. best regards Matthias On Monday 20 July 2009 19:36:24 Blaine Booher wrote: > hey everyone, > I have an interactive python application that I am using pylab with.
