.show() documentation?

Does not exist here: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/api/pyplot_api.html

Which is curious, because it’s plainly shown (PUNZ!) here: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/users/pyplot_tutorial.html

Now here’s t3h sex: given the documentation, I kind of expect this to work:

—Python Code—

plotter.plot(xs,ys,‘ro’)
plotter.grid(True)
plotter.savefig(‘myresult.png’)
plotter.show()

plotter.waitforbuttonpress(1)
plotter.close()

—End Python Code—

I would expect that would keep my window open for a second, or until I keyed a button, and then close it. No dice.

…actually, I got my matplotlib through enthought, which has an old version of the package (.91)…but a simple google search for “matplotlib 0.91 api” doesn’t show that package’s docs on the front page…help?

What, in fact, is happening for you? No window at all? Perhaps your backend is set to a non-GUI backend? Can you send us your matplotlibrc file?

Cheers,

The figure would open and remain visible, but would not respond in the expected manner to a button press. Consequently, Python would error out saying “package does not contain method waitforbuttonpress()”. I was working on a school computer, 32-bit Intel that had just downloaded a fresh version of whatever Enthought has inside, so you might want to check in that package.

As with all other commands in matplotlib, show is blocking. The interpreter stops at that line until the window closes.

To do interactive things with a separate GUI event loop, have a look at the demos in the event_handling directory of the examples.
