Can't get interative to work

Hi,

somehow I don't manage to set up matplotlib such that I can draw
animations. I've been using the moving sin example from

   http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations

which spits out nicely moving sin-waves on one machine, but does
nothing on the other. I'm puzzled. Checked pylab.isinteractive() which
is TRUE.

Any hints?

Cheers,
Nico

Hi Nico,

I'm not sure, but one reason could be different backends. What kind of backend
are you using on the 2 machines?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
print plt.get_backend()

( and what version of matplotlib
   import matplotlib
   print matplotlib.__version__
)

In case the backends are different, you can select you favorite backend by
calling e.g.
matplotlib.use("TKAgg")
before import pyplot or pylab.

Kind regards,
Matthias

It was indeed a backend issue, fixed now. Thanks!
