Does anyone know why? because the whole point of the "pylab" flag to ipython is to tell ipython to start up the MPL plotting stuff in separate thread so that it can work like you want it to. If you don't' use that flag, then each call to pyplot tries to start up a new app, ,but the old one is still running, hence you problems. ipython itself can be used for all sort of things that have nothing to do with matplotlib, so that's not its default behavior. Just use ipython -pylab if you want to do interactive plotting, that's what it's for. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
