matplotlib with eclipse: how to get a graph?

Community matplotlib-users

Hello list,

I recently started using Eclipse with Pydev. I like it a lot but have not been able to get interactive plotting going (which otherwise works fine).

My file is simple:

from pylab import *

ion()

plot([1,2,3])

When I run this form within Eclipse, I do see a graphing window open up but then it disappears again when it is done, before I can even look at it.

Any suggestions on how to keep the graphing window open?

Thanks,

Mark

You need to issue a show() here. Thus the plotting window will hang on the screen until you close it.

Excellent. Many thanks.

After all those years of using matplotlib, I finally find a use for show()

There is even a simpler use case :slight_smile:

Just put those three lines in a file say test.py

and try python test.py

Unless you are in ipython -pylab or threading enabled, it is required to issue a show() to see the results on the screen.
