Two questions for using Matplotlib (via interactive Python prompt, not pylab interface): 1) How can I get a list of the currently extant figures? -- In Matlab, I would just type "get(0,'children')" -- how would Matplotlib handle this? 2) How can I test if a specified figure exists?

Bump... Does no-one have a solution for this? ----- I am a BugMeNot account and postings from this user may not always be from the same person. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Figure-existence-test-tp18760841p18934165.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

In the meantime, the following hack should work >>> figs = [manager.canvas.figure for manager in pylab._pylab_helpers.Gcf.get_all_fig_managers()] And you asked about testing to see if a figure exists -- do you mean by figure number? If so, you could check a number against the "num" attribute from the figure list >>> somenum in [fig.num for fig in figs] JDH
Thank you -- this is what I was looking for. The only issue is that my "fig" objects have no "num" attribute -- it is called "number" instead. So if I use this, instead, it works fine: >>> somenum in [fig.number for fig in figs] -Ian ----- I am a BugMeNot account and postings from this user may not always be from the same person. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Figure-existence-test-tp18760841p18957882.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
