Python with matplotlib - drawing multiple figures in parallel

figures, matplotlib, python

Solution

There are several ways to do this, and the simplest is to use the figure numbers. The code below makes two figures, #0 and #1, each with two lines. #0 has the points 1,2,3,4,5,6, and #2 has the points 10,20,30,40,50,60.

from pylab import *

figure(0)
plot([1,2,3])

figure(1)
plot([10, 20, 30])

figure(0)
plot([4, 5, 6])

figure(1)
plot([40, 50, 60])

show()

Problem

I have functions that contribute to small parts of a figure generation. I'm trying to use these functions to generate multiple figures? So something like this: - work with Figure 1 - do something else - work with Figure 2 - do something else - work with Figure 1 - do something else - work with Figure 2 If anyone could help, that'd be great!
