[Matplotlib-users] Using IDLE - program still running when graph window is closed

2010-02-24 Thread AG
How does one ensure that once a graph has been produced by Matplotlib 
and that graph has been closed by the user that the program itself stops?

What I am currently getting is that when I close the graph pop-up window 
and then close IDLE, I get a message that the program is still running 
and am I sure that I want to stop it.  Yes, I am sure, but I don't want 
to have to keep killing the IDLE interpreter window in order to do so, 
but if I don't, then I am seemingly unable to produce another graph 
pop-up window.

How do I control this from within the script itself?  I am using Debian 
testing with Python 2.5.5

TIA

AG

IDLE just doesn't work well with matplotlib (or GUI apps), as has been
recently discussed here (if you Google for matplotlib and IDLE you'll
find lots of posts about it).  You could use ipython instead, and now
there is also DreamPie (http://dreampie.sourceforge.net/), a new IDE
which claims to play well with matplotlib.  Those who embed their
matplotlib plots in a GUI app also don't face this concern.

Thanks Che.

Have downloaded/ installed dreampie and am giving it a whirl.  Haven't 
figured out how to load pre-written scripts and the docs are pretty near 
non-existent, but with enough experimentation I'm sure I'll get there.


Cheers
