plt.show() making terminal hang
matplotlib, python
Solution
your matplotlib might be running in non-interactive mode for some reason. I am not sure how to prevent that in your local configuration but if you add either this:
plt.ion()
or this:
matplotlib.interactive(True)
somewhere at the beginning of your script, it should change the behaviour of your plots.
Problem
At the end of the last function I call in one of my programs, I have the following code to plot a simple color plot. ``` plt.figure() plt.pcolormesh(X,Y,Z) plt.colorbar() plt.show() ``` Afterwords I return to main and my program is complete. The plot displays as expected, however when I go to close it using the x button in the corner (on ubuntu), my program doesn't end. It just hangs there with a process running. How can I correct this?
