The code below is a typical example of matplotlib use. I've used it both
in xp and win7 in IDLE. It produces the required plos and stop with the
plot display. If I close the plot window with the x in the upper right
corner, the shell window is left open. I have to do the same to close
it. If I run it again, and look at the shell window, it looks hung up
with the cursor below the >>> prompt. Ctrl-c doesn't break it, and I
have to resort to x again. There must be some mechanism to insert below
that allows the program to continue on and thus complete. Supposedly
fig.close() will but I've put it in several places and have gotten
unknown attribute to figure.
Comments?
================
from matplotlib.pyplot import figure, show
from numpy import arange, pi, cos, sin, pi
from numpy.random import rand
# unit area ellipse
rx, ry = 3., 1.
area = rx * ry * pi
theta = arange(0, 2*pi+0.01, 0.1)
verts = zip(rx/area*cos(theta), ry/area*sin(theta))
x,y,s,c = rand(4, 30)
s*= 10**2.
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.scatter(x,y,s,c,marker=None,verts =verts)
show()
