Hello,
I'm totally new to matplotlib, so sorry if the question is stupid.
I'm trying this slightly modified example from the examples page
from pylab import *
A = rand(5,5)
figure(1)
imshow(A, interpolation='bicubic')
show()
close(1)
A = rand(5,5)
figure(2)
imshow(A, interpolation='bicubic')
show()
close(2)
The first figure is drawn without problems but after closing it (by clicking
the cross in the upper
right corner of the window) the second figure cannot be plot anymore. What I
wanted to do was
to visualize all selected files of a directory one after the other. To do
this I want to close the old
figure and then the new figure should com up as long as there is a file to
visualize left. Unfortunaltely
only the first figure is shown as in the simple example.
So, what's wrong?
I'm using Windows XP and the newst version of matplotlib.

Calling show() multiple times is not supported.

We don't really have support for blocking input where a program is
halted until you close the open figure, and then the next one loads.
You could write something using event handling, where on a key press
event the next figure was loaded. You may also be able to use ginput
here, which will give you a blocking input function.

Hi,
ok meanwhile I found out that this is a typical beginners error, sorry.
Nevertheless, using ion(), and ioff() together with draw() works fine.
What I didn't find out up to now was the funtion
ginput(n=1, timeout=30, show_clicks=True)
which prevents me from killing the window after every plot, so
thank you John Hunter-4. Before it was even not possible to
move the focus to another window without crashing the application.
Now all behaves as "expected".
Thank you again.
