I am sorry, here the better explanation:
I have a scirpt to reduce data. from time to time it should bring up an
interactive matplotlib figure and then when I close the window it should
continue.it is important for me that the script actually stops when
opening the window.
The problem is (which I found out just now) I am running this in ipython
and if I close the window the gtk.mainloop() stays active and doesnt let
me continue my script. So i'm looking for a fucntion I can call to stop
the backend thread. I know there is a thread called gtk.gdk.thread_leave
but I need the appropriate TK object which is the window(or
matplotlib_object or whatever) to call this function. I am happy to use
another backend but I am fairly new to tk and gtk in python so I didnt
see anything else.
thanks in advance
