How to handle a matplotlib button to call a function and close the current plot?












0















I have a code that allows the user select a model function to fit certain data. That model function defines the parameters, which need to be sampled to get an initial estimate before proceeding with the actual fitting of the function (see figure)enter image description here



When the button "Fit" is clicked, I want the fitting procedure to start and the figure to close.



plt.show()
button_fit.on_clicked(final_fit(process)) # This calls the function that fits the data
plt.close('all')


However, since I am using plt.show(), I need to close the figure for the button_fit.on_clicked(final_fit(process)) to be evaluated. How can I do that?

  • As shown in the buttons example the registration of the callback needs to come before plt.show(), else you will not see anything happening when clicking the button. If you want to also close the figure, you need to put plt.close() at the end of the fitting function.

  • As shown in the buttons example the registration of the callback needs to come before plt.show(), else you will not see anything happening when clicking the button. If you want to also close the figure, you need to put plt.close() at the end of the fitting function.
