Often times what people are looking for is they want to the figure to
pop up on the screen, look at it, have it close, and move on. One way
to achieve this is to run mpl in interactive mode
http://matplotlib.sf.net/interactive.html
and then insert a time.sleep or call
input("Press any key for next figure: ")
If this is what you are doing, threading becomes important. This is
discussed on the web page linked above, and your best bet is to either
use the tkagg backend or better yet, use ipython in -pylab mode.
Something like
import sys
from pylab import figure, close, show, nx, ion
ion()
while 1:
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
x, y = nx.mlab.rand(2,30)
ax.plot(x,y,'o')
fig.canvas.draw()
k = raw_input("press any key to continue, q to quit: ")
if k.lower().startswith('q'):
sys.exit()
close()
show()
