The goal is to indeed control when drawing occurs, but also to not use show() (because it cumbersome to have to close umpteen windows so as to finish a Matplotlib program that opened lots of figures). (I checked the examples that you referred to) It looks like Matplotlib forces either to use the interactive mode (possibly inefficient) or to use show() (possibly cumbersome). I wish that Matplotlib offers an alternative to this situation, but this looks less and less to be the case. That's something I would like to suggest to the devs. :-) -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Exact-semantics-of-ion%28%29---tp31728909p31735322.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
