matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Dear all,
I think this is quite easy but I searched the internet and mailing list and
not able to find an answer.
ax2 is an inset axes within the "ax" axes in figure "fig", which I make
following here
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/axes_demo.html
but now my problem is that I cannot fix the ax2 the exact position I want,
it seems that draw() command change this:
In [352]:
ax2.set_position([0.125,0.63,0.25,0.25])
ax2.set_position([0.125,0.63,0.25,0.25])
In [353]:
ax2.get_position()
ax2.get_position()
Out[353]:
Bbox(array([[ 0.125, 0.63 ],
 [ 0.375, 0.88 ]]))
In [354]:
draw()
draw()
In [355]:
ax2.get_position()
ax2.get_position()
Out[355]:
Bbox(array([[ 0.15625, 0.63 ],
 [ 0.34375, 0.88 ]]))
could anyone give any hints? thanks!
Chao

Hi all,
it seems that whenever I plot something, a window opens.
from matplotlib import pylab
import numpy
pylab.plot(numpy.random.normal(size=100))
Now, I have code that is supposed to produce diagnostic plots as PDFs. Only
when I pass a command line option the script should actually open a
window and also display
the results on the screen.
I am pretty sure that in earlier times the window would only open when
I call pylab.show().
It may well be that I messed too much with my matplotlibrc, if you
could just point me in the right direction ...
I use matplotlib 1.0.1 on a Mac with the MacOSX backend.
