I personally use the IPython console for my just-checking interactive work, rather than the notebook. Checking now, '%matplotlib inline' in the console raises an error, understandably enough, but this works: %matplotlib osx import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.plot(range(10)) I know that's what you said, it's just to give a complete snippet for Googlers, Cheers, Matthew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!
