Hi
I updated to the latest Qt and PyQt and the memory leak is not there any more.
Looks like matplotlib was OK.
Qt 4.7.3
PyQt 4.8.4
Windows OS
Cheers

Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] canvas.draw() + pyqt4 memory leak
Many thanks for the fix. I applied the changes and now I can run the program.
The numbers go up with every canvas draw(). I attached a screenshot with the
program you sent (the mpl example) running. The screenshot shows how the memory
goes up and up unbounded with every canvas draw(). It would appear then that it
leaks memory in some platforms (ie.windows) but others are OK.
I would be OK if I knew how to release the memory back every now and then
(maybe every 100 canvas draw()), but I have not been successful to do so.
Cheers
