Talk about fortuitous timing! I was looking into something this afternoon, thinking mathplotlib & ipython might do the trick especially since I already have spyder installed on my laptop (also running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit)... got home tonight and was playing with it a bit with an example from the mathplotlib docs, but not seeing any plot appear. Came here and promptly found this thread.
FWIW, 'isinteractive()' does return True. In my case, the code I was trying to plot was something like: x = randn(10000) hist(x, 100) Just typing 'show()' afterwards didn't do anything. Wrapping hist() in show(), however, does work show(hist(x, 100)) I'm not sure if this is a glitch/bug/feature that has migrated from Debian to Ubuntu, but I was kind of under the impression as well that from an ipython shell, after typing '%pylab' to load mathplotlib and get into interactive mode, that just plain 'hist(x, 100)' should display the plot without the need to wrap 'show()' around it. Is there something else that needs fixed / adjusted, or is this yet another thing that I need to just not run the version that comes with the distro?
