Re: [Matplotlib-users] suppress plotting window
Hi Ben,
yes, it is not enabled. Also a call to pyplot.isinteractive() returns False.

Hi John,
yes, I can do a matplotlib.use('pdf') (As a matter of fact I use this
as a workaround right now). But I have to do this at the very
beginning of the code, i.e.
before the import of pyplot. Now, my routine has a --PLOT switch which
allows me to turn on the on-screen plotting.
Depending on that switch I now have to decide whether or not to call
matplotlib.use('pdf').
This means that I have a lot of imports interspersed with other code
which looks terrible.
Really I am pretty sure that a simple script like:
from matplotlib import pyplot as pp
pp.plot([1,2,3])
should not open a window. Only after a
pp.show()
the window should show up.
Note: I have tried to remove my .matplotlib directory. I have also checked
pp.isinteractive()
False
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Maximilian
Maxmillian,
Did you check your ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file like I suggested? By
default, these plots should not be coming up until you call show().
However, if interactive is set to True, then they will come up at the
first plotting command.
Cheers!
Ben Root

Hi Goyo, I see! I am using the macosx backend. That was the hint I needed. Thanks a lot!
