Either I updated something that changed Matplotlib's behavior or I am missing something, but when I make a plot in ipython, control is not returning to the prompt - I can't do anything until I close the plot. Here is exactly what I am doing:
ipython --pylab x=arange(10) y=x**2 figure() plot(x,y) show() Also, I am not sure if that is right. In the past I remember just being able to type plot() and the figure came up and control went back to ipython to continue. But I could be wrong. Then, if I want to do anything else, I have to close the window. The backend I am using is WXAgg. I also noticed that if I use the GTKAgg backend, control does not return to the prompt even after closing the plot. I have to hit ctl-c to get the prompt back. I have tried this both with ion() and ioff(). I don't ever remember having to close the plot or hit control-c to keep working. I googled and did not really see anything relevant. Could anyone tell me what I am missing or what I need to do so that I can plot in ipython, leave the plot up, and then continue working? I have matplotlib 1.0.0 and ipython 0.10.1 Thanks for any help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
