I'm trying to have animated plots using draw_artist on mac os x and I got an 
error with the following script:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.ion()
plt.figure()
subplot = plt.subplot(1,1,1)
axis = plt.imshow(np.random.random((10,10)))
plt.draw()
subplot.draw_artist(axis)
plt.show()

The traceback is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "matplotlib-bug.py", line 8, in <module>
    subplot.draw_artist(axis)
  File "/Volumes/Data/Local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py", 
line 1946, in draw_artist
    a.draw(self._cachedRenderer)
  File "/Volumes/Data/Local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/artist.py", 
line 55, in draw_wrapper
    draw(artist, renderer, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/Volumes/Data/Local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/image.py", 
line 338, in draw
    gc = renderer.new_gc()
  File 
"/Volumes/Data/Local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_macosx.py",
 line 105, in new_gc
    self.gc.save()
RuntimeError: CGContextRef is NULL


Is there something wrong in my script (it seems to be working on linux) ?


Information:
matplotlib version: 1.0.0
python version 2.7
macosx version: 10.6.4
