Re: [Matplotlib-users] spawning plots as separate processes
Bill, Thanks for your reply. pylab(ion) is not what I meant. Consider this simply script - . # simple.py from pylab import * plot([1,2,3]) show() Now, if I do python simple.py on a cmd prompt, this will open up a plot window, but the script won't return until the plot window is closed. I would like simple.py process to end but the plot window to be still up. I have users who would like to type one command after another and not have to close any of the plot windows created. I looked at ezplot, but it looks like a rather heavy weight soln, but maybe I need to do something similar. Is there any other way around this?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] spawning plots as separate processes
Bill, The problem is I am writing a bunch of diagonistic tools for users who do not know anything about unix. they just want to type a bunch of commands on a shell and see the plots and they hardly know anything fancy like sending processes to the background :) I guess, I am going to have to use threads or sub processes to spawn new plots.

In that case, I think you just want $ simple.py on unix and c:\ start python simple.py on Windows. In both cases you can put those commands into a script so the user just types 'run_simple'. --bb - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

That's exactly what Bill's ezplot is supposed to do. I am sure that he will appreciate any helping making it easier to just work without the user having to know or do anything.

[Matplotlib-users] spawning plots as separate processes
Hi All, I am very new to matplotlib and still trying to find my way through docs and api, so please excuse me if there is a simple way to do this. So the situation is this - I would like to write a script that spawns multiple plots and exits, but the plots window do not die until they are explicitly closed. Is there a simple way to do this. All the examples that I have looked at so far have scripts that only exit once the call to show() returns. Is there some mechanism that matplotlib provides to make the show() return?
