Dear all,
Consider the following short program:
from matplotlib.pyplot import title, show
for i in xrange(3):
title(i+1)
print "window No. "+str(i+1)+" was closed"
show()
If I run it under Windows XP, at each show() the program displays a window and
blocks; if I close the window by clicking on the "X" at the top right corner,
the program prints the message "window No. ... was closed" , then opens a new
window, and so on for a total of three iterations.
If I run it under Linux (Ubuntu 9.10, living inside a Virtualbox machine),
everything works the same until I close the first window, after which no new
windows are ever opened and displayed. The program does not die, because all
three messages are sent to console:
window No. 1 was closed
window No. 2 was closed
window No. 3 was closed
My questions for the cognoscenti are:
1. Why this difference?
2. How can I get under Linux the same behaviour as under Windows?
Thanks in advance,
Enzo
