You have to call plt.show() only when you want to actually show the figure. That's because you're using python command interpreter. Try: plt.plot(x,y,'b-') plt.ylim( (1.5,4.5) ) plt.show() If you want to do interactive plotting, I suggest using ipython. ipython -pylab already import the pylab module, that provide all the pyplot functions. I prefer to do something like $ipython import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.ion() # incase it's not already in interactive mode <do my printing> This way, it will open the figure window and you'll be able to "decorate" the plot in the ipython shell and see the result applied to the "background" figure with no need to execute "plt.show()" or close the windows between a command and a "show()".
