Comment 2 for bug 220137

I am using the same version of python-matplotlib.
This system has been installed from a Beta CD and upgraded to RC.

The plot window works fine as long as interactive mode is turned off and I use show() to create the window. But this does not give me the behaviour I am looking for as I want to close the window within my program.

The window's title bar looks normal, but the rest of the window is gray with neither the matplotlib toolbar nor the graph visible.

I am sorry, I don't know what information I could give you additionally.

The example I gave above works fine if I comment ion() and put a show() before raw_input. Like this:

from numpy import *
from scipy import *
from matplotlib import *
from pylab import *

#ion()
figure(1)
plot([1,2,3],[1,2,3])
show()
raw_input(':')
close(1)
