Yes, absolutely it will work... so long as you do not use blitting. Blitting for mplot3d is pretty much useless anyway (I think draws of the axes occur anyway regardless of the blit mode), but it is also broken for the macosx backend, anyway. Cheers! Ben Root On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 8:59 PM, Amit

My knee-jerk reaction is to move the definition of `format` outside of the `Visualize.__init__` method. If you need to have hooks back into the visualize method I would use a function factory + weak refs or a class (again with weakrefs) with a `__call__` method. Tom On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 3:35 P

[Matplotlib-users] Avoid circular references with format_coord and Qt?

2015-03-08 Thread Sebastian Berg
Hey, probably there is nothing to help me here, but I have a QtGui, using matplotlib and basically end up in a circular reference hell that is not resolvable by the gc. After removing almost all circular references, the python inherited QWidget that embeds the figurecanvas is now deleted fine. Th
