Ryan, Thanks. Indeed I did provide the code that actually calls these functions and the functions show all plotting-related lines. Yes, I did not provide the single line call that calls the function that calls the two plotting functions, nor did I provide the call which starts the Python program. And I did not provide runnable code. Everyone's attention was on what code I did or did not provide. It was all there. Naively I thought by code inspection by experts who read this mailing list they could quickly spot my flaw. And a flaw it turned out to be. I took your suggestion to put a plt.figure() call at the beginning of each function that generates a plot and the problem disappeared. Now calling each plotting function sequentially within the same instance of a Python program the second plot does not get scrambled. This is good as it now provides the automation I was hoping for. I've now also found http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.figure and http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.close which look to be important. I was not aware of the need for these functions before. Oversight on my part. Using them now. I'm now off doing more productive things. thanks for the pointer!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
