Memory problem with savefig

Pietro,

Are you sure it is savefig() that is using memory? Try
commenting out close(). In my case it solved a memory
problem with batch processing. See recent list postings
for more details. You may need to add clf() or cla() to
avoid overplotting.

Please let the list know if it works for you without
close() and your matplotlib version to help developers
track down memory leaks or related issues.

Good Luck,

   fig=figure(dpi=75)
   area(data,colors)
   savefig(filename)
   close(fig)

Any suggestion? Is there any other way to save a
picture that might work better?
