I have a problem where I need to quickly inspect 20-30 plots. I want to open a plotting window, plot the first plot, then hit return to see the nest plot appear in the same window.
Below is my script, but it creates a window that has to be closed before it loops over the rest of the plots. How can I avoid that the first plot has to be closed "manually"? Cheers Tommy Note: I know confirm() is overkill, but I just ripped it out of a different program to quickly put this script together :) import pylab from optparse import OptionParser parser = OptionParser(version="%prog 0.01a") parser.add_option("-i","--infile", dest="infname", action="store", help="The input file", metavar="INFILE") parser.add_option("-n","--num", dest="n", action="store",type="int", help="number of files", metavar="N") (options,args) = parser.parse_args() def confirm(_prompt=None, _default=False): """prompts for yes or no response.
