It looks like I have found a solution. I work for many hours on a problem
before posting so I am surprised I found this only one day after posting my
original question. I went digging in places I am not sure I should and came
with this command that appears to be a solution to my focus problem. It
would be nice to know from an expert if this the recommended method for
forcing focus in Matplotlib.
The command:
fig.canvas.get_tk_widget().focus_force()
My original demo code with the new command showing the focus behavior I
want:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.ion()
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,8))
ax = fig.add_axes([.15,.1,.8,.65])
ax.plot([1,2,3])
ax.set_title('Fisrt Plot')
fig.canvas.get_tk_widget().focus_force()
raw_input('Enter to close and Continue: ')
#plt.close(fig)
fig2 = plt.figure(figsize=(10,8))
ax = fig2.add_axes([.15,.1,.8,.65])
ax.plot([1,2,3])
ax.set_title('Second Plot')
fig2.canvas.get_tk_widget().focus_force()
raw_input('Enter to close and Continue: ')
#plt.close(fig2)
fig.canvas.get_tk_widget().focus_force()
raw_input('Enter to close and Continue: ')
