Matplotlib pyplot show() doesn't work once closed

Question

I have a loop like this

#!/usr/bin/env python
import matplotlib.pyplot as p

for i in xrange(N):
    # Create my_image here

    # Display this image
    p.fi         


        

Answer 1

I have long been looking into this problem and I may have a solution although I haven't thoroughly tested it yet.

The key is in writing code more like MatLab, name your figures and then call them to show().

eg.

 from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

 fig1 = plt.figure()
 fig2 = plt.figure()

 fig1.show()
 fig2.show()

This might work for animations and plotting at different stages
