[Matplotlib-users] catching close figure event

Hello everybody,

I would like to call a function when I close manually a window previously opened by a pylab.figure. I tried the following:

f = pylab.figure()
f.canvas.mpl_connect('close_event',my_function)

but it fails because the 'close_event' is not recognized as a valid event (button_press_event, axis_leave_event ...). Would you have any idea ?

thank you very much

regards

Eric Pellegrini
