Yes, this is how things used to work on my mac (1 week ago). After upgrade, no longer works this way. Reverting to old compilation - still no longer works. > BTW this may be better than using raw_input: > > import matplotlib.pyplot as plt > plt.ion() > plt.plot([1.6, 2.7]) # The plot windows shows up. > # Do stuff, even user interaction, more plots, etc. > # ... > # Wait until all plot windows are closed. > plt.ioff() > plt.show() This reproduces (as far as I can tell) the exact behavior I used to have. Interesting to note. If I have "interactive : True" in my matplotlibrc file, and then import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # do everything I used to do # including call functions that do other plots etc. plt.ioff() plt.show() this also produces the above behavior (what used to work). So, if I am in interactive mode, then matplotlibrc opens and closes the figures for me. However, if after making all my plots, just before calling plt.show(), I turn off interactive mode, then the plots stay open. This does not follow the logic I would expect - ie interactive means I would have to close the figures interactively. But it gives the behavior I have come to expect. Now back to my other problems (I'll start a new thread).
