Dear all,
just a small tip for all who are creating many images by using
something like this:
for param in range(10):
data = get_data(param)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
im = ax.imshow(data)
fig.savefig('data_'+str(param)+'.png)
# plt.close(fig)
Unfortunately, even so the objects are created inside the loop, it
seems they don't vanish completely from loop to loop. So, without the
currently commented 'plt.close(fig)' you will create a huge memory leak
(well, depending on your image sizes) that grinds even your 4GB Macbook
Pro to a complete halt. ;)
Hopefully that helps some people out.
BR,
Michael
