Close Event

Example to show connecting events that occur when the figure closes.

Note

This example exercises the interactive capabilities of Matplotlib, and this will not appear in the static documentation. Please run this code on your machine to see the interactivity.

You can copy and paste individual parts, or download the entire example using the link at the bottom of the page.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


def on_close(event):
    print('Closed Figure!')

fig = plt.figure()
fig.canvas.mpl_connect('close_event', on_close)

plt.text(0.35, 0.5, 'Close Me!', dict(size=30))
plt.show()
