pylab.close() gtk error

Community matplotlib-users

Could that be because interactive mode was set in your previous install ?

(in .matplotlibrc file)

if I try:

#!/usr/bin/python

import matplotlib

import pylab

matplotlib.interactive(True)

pylab.figure()

pylab.close()

Then it works…

Hope this could help you…

Hello,

If I run the following script on my system (SuSE 10.0, matplotlib-0.87 but
same behaviour with 0.86):

#!/usr/bin/python

import matplotlib
import pylab

pylab.figure()

pylab.close
()

It crashes with the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./tmp.py”, line 8, in ?
pylab.close()
File “/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py”, line 768, in

close
else: _pylab_helpers.Gcf.destroy(figManager.num)
File “/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/_pylab_helpers.py”, line
28, in destroy
figManager.destroy()
File “/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py”,

line 456, in destroy
gtk.main_quit()
RuntimeError: called outside of a mainloop

Does someone has an idea of the problem?
I didn’t have this kind of problem with my SuSE 9.3 and matplotlib-0.85
