two issues with the QtAgg backend

Hmm - I believe that message is from a SWIG error which is what wraps Qt into Python. So that would mean that the Qt object is being deleted w/o the python finding out about it.

     37 figManager = Gcf.get_active()
     38 if figManager != None:
---> 39 figManager.canvas.draw()

This makes me think that the canvas is being deleted. I wonder if we need to trap the window close and somehow tell the figure manager about it?

Hi Ted,

Yes, the figure size is good, thanks!

I still see the other problem, if I close that first plot window, and then try
to make a new plot:
