Hello everyone.
A users on the networkx mailing list posted this example which is a modification of the matplotlib-pyqt4 implementation which plots a networkx graph.
The problem I am facing with it is that two plot windows open instead of one, one is empty and the other contains the graph.
I can’t really put my finger as to why two windows open rather than just one pyqt window with the plot. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Screenshot of the two plot windows:
