How about the developer tools and/or X-windows?

Hi Chris,
Yes, I have the dev. tools and and X11 stuff. I have some old code that opens an X window and does very simple drawing. That works after compiling using g++ and linking to /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a. But note, I am very much an X windows novice.
I have since also installed wxPython. The few tests I've done seem to work with it and using the WXAgg option in matplotlib I can get the plot window to appear after doing a show(). Very nice. Can zoom, pan, save, etc.
BUT. (Users are never satisfied are they/we? :-) ). My ultimate goal is to not wait until the end of the script to do the plot, but to be able to plot and keep the script running. This can be done either by pausing the script (in some way) or by leaving the matplotwindow open and continuing with the script. Most of my numerical code is menu driven with VERY simple menus through stdout and stdin printing and reading. I am not sure how to do this type of plotting. Thus far matplotlib wants to quit after a show(). Putting python code after show() never gets run. Clicking the close button on the matplotlib window crashes Python.
I am running from a terminal window for now using Pythonw since I also use EasyDialogs. I've been looking over the docs and examples and haven't seen how to do this. I've played with matplotlibrc setting "interactive" to True, but that did nothing. After I do some time-pressing stuff, I'll get back to investigating this problem.
Overall matplotlib looks fabulous and along with wxPython I can see the potential to have plot windows and some simple GUI interaction without getting smothered in GUI programming. And I have to say your binary and the wxPython binary were trivial to install and get running. Thanks, again.
If you have any suggestions, just send them along.
