Sorry if this complaint appears twice on this list.
I have been using Matplotlib for a while, and I’m getting to the point where I’d like to embed the output in a Tk GUI application. I’m new to Tkinter. Here is the problem. Using the script that’s in the “examples” page on the web documentation, I run “embedding_in_tk.py”. That works. But if I uncomment the Tkinter-style “Quit” button that is at the bottom of this script, any attempt to quit using the Quit button causes the following error:
I am using clean installs of Python 2.7, numpy 1.6.1, and matplotlib 1.0.1 (all 32-bit versions running under a Win 7 64-bit OS). I have not modified the matplotlibrc. Given that this is not working “out of the box”, I’m wondering if there is a bug in FigureCanvasTkAgg or the tkagg backend in general.
A look at the archives shows a user named Jakob having a similar problem, but the solution (if any) was not posted.

That's probably why the button was commented out. I think the problem here is that using these gui toolkits is tricky, and the tk examples were never worked out adequately. There are various ways of putting a quit button back into the example. Try the one attached. If it works for you, I will make it replace the present example, and I will delete the embedding_in_tk2.py example because it adds nothing of interest.
