[Matplotlib-users] Windows7: figure window "not responding"

[Thomas Caswell]

David,

Please subscribe to the mailing list so you can post un-moderated.

Which backend are you using?

If you get a window up and then do `fig.canvas.flush_events()` will it
update?

If you do `plt.ioff()` and then `plt.show()` does it work?

Tom
