Was just following your example, you were nowhere calling collect. Here is what you requested: In [1]: import gc In [2]: import matplotlib.cbook as cbook In [3]: data = ones((1500,1500,3)) In [4]: hold(False) In [5]: imshow(data) Out[5]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage object at 0x1c43e50> In [6]: gc.collect() Out[6]: 12 In [7]: cbook.report_memory() Out[7]: 174540 In [8]: imshow(data) Out[8]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage object at 0x1c59e90> In [9]: gc.collect() Out[9]: 0 In [10]: cbook.report_memory() Out[10]: 253400 In [11]: imshow(data) Out[11]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage object at 0x1c603b0> In [12]: gc.collect() Out[12]: 0 In [13]: cbook.report_memory() Out[13]: 333360 In [14]: imshow(data) Out[14]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage object at 0x1c60410> In [15]: gc.collect() Out[15]: 0 In [16]: cbook.report_memory() Out[16]: 413296 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
