Re: [Matplotlib-users] where did my plots go?

2012-06-20 Thread Ludwig Schwardt
Hi André, Have you tried to run your script from within IPython? That is, run "ipython --pylab" in your Terminal and "%run your_script.py" inside IPython. This always keeps the figures around for me, regardless of the presence of show(). Good luck, Ludwig
