Hi, I assume that the interactive mode is switched of. In order to check whether or not interactive mode is switched on/off, use the following commands: isinteractive() (True for interactive, False for not)
Switching the interactive mode on/off: ion() or ioff() respectively. When the interactive mode is switched off, you need to type show() before the figure will pop up. Note that with IPython you also have the option to have your plots inline (in the console, instead of as a floating window). In order to toggle between the different ipython plot settings, use the spyder preference dialogue: Tools > Preferences > IPython console > Graphics > Graphics backend: switch to inline or otherwise (I assume Qt will work fine for Ubuntu). Note that you can find more information here: http://matplotlib.org/users/shell.html Best regards, David On 10 January 2013 18:38, Leopoldo Pena <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm rather newbie using spyder, but I like it a lot. > I have run into some issues though, that I am not sure how to fix or if > that is the expected behaviour. > > This are the steps to reproduce it. > > 1 - Clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 64bits > 2- Using USC or apt install spyder (e.g. sudo apt-get install spyder) > after allowing universe repositories. > Spyder 2.1.10, > 3- Open spyder. > 4- Open Ipython (0.13.1) interpreter with contextual menu. > 5- type: %pylab to start scientific environment with matplotlib.
