Personally I used show() yesterday, and it blocks the execution until the figure's window is closed. It is of perfect convenience I think, as a default behavior.
However, I would like to add an option to show() like eg : > show( save_image = True , format = 'eps' ) As it permits to mix the two behavior : interrupt script execution and let the execution be continued if the user decides so. I don't know if it's possible, but I would like it be. Kind regards.
