ginga/imexam ipython photometry issue for NIRCAM simulation #166

Open stscijgbot opened 5 years ago

stscijgbot commented 5 years ago

Issue JDA-30 was created by Ben Sunnquist:

Data used: Mirage NIRCam imaging simulations of Candels/GOODS-S processed through level 3 of the JWST Pipeline

Data location: /grp/jwst/wit/da5_simulations/nircam/level3_i2d.fits

Methods used: attempted to perform aperture photometry by pressing 'a' once in interactive mode using imexam with ginga through ipython.

Description: My terminal session and ginga window became unresponsive after performing aperture photometry using imexam within ipython (see attachment for full ipython session). I couldn't exit interactive mode and the ginga window froze, so I had to force close both my terminal and the ginga window. However, it worked fine when I used a Jupyter notebook, and just seems to be an ipython issue. Also, I tried putting %matplotlib before importing imexam, but the same issue occurred.
