[yt-users] Control of thread/program not returning to ipython after creating a plot

[Jean-Claude Passy]

Hi Matt,

unfortunately, I am running on a Linux machine and my variable display 
is correctly set. However, I cannot find the file matplotlibrc:

------------------------------------------------------
[20:02:45] helix:$ ls ~/.matplotlib/
fontList.cache  tex.cache  tmp66z1Qv
------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

JC
