Test on windows keep stalling out for test_directional.py::i::test_rose. Tried without multicore tests, but still stalling.

Thanks for getting this done @jGaboardi ! It is probably because the tester tries to plot a figure, but I am not sure though as splot was also testing against plotting figures. That being said, since splot is already testing on these plotting functions, I think in giddy we might be safe if not testing again? But of course, if we can resolve the current issue, that would be best.

hey @weikang9009! It seems that splot's continuous integration has been disabled for awhile, so I'll go ahead and get that started. But assuming that splot's test for the Rose plot passes, then must being something hanging up within that function itself. There was a similar problem with spaghetti recently that we fixed with a timeout flag. Maybe @martinfleis might have some insight?

[martinfleis]

The fact that it is testing a plot should not cause the issue. Not sure what does though.

Going to merge as this improves things quite a bit. Can then work on the failing case.
