The Plots pane shows the static figures and images created during your session. It will show you plots from the IPython Console, produced by your code in the Editor or generated by the Variable Explorer allowing you to interact with them in several ways.

Can I configure in Python code which figure to display inline and which one to display in a new window? I know that in Spyder, click Tools, Preferences, Ipython Console, Graphics and under Graphics Backend select “automatic” instead of “inline”.

Spyder helps you move from single scripts to structured, reusable modules and packages without losing interactivity. It also includes powerful software development tools whenever you're ready for them.

I've recently switched from Enthought Canopy to Anaconda and am using the Spyder IDE. I've noticed that when I plot some data, import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.figure() plt.plot(rigs2) plt.ion(...

This workshop allows you to explore some of Spyder’s features that make Spyder an ideal IDE for using the scientific tools offered by Python. Throughout the workshop, we will apply the scientific method to answer some questions related to our preferences and cognitive abilities.

Change the backend to automatic: Tools > preferences > IPython console > Graphics > Graphics backend > Backend: Automatic. Then close and open Spyder. The closing and opening is indeed necessary. Just wondering why this isn't the default value.

Mar 11, 2024 · Matplotlib is a powerful library for creating plots and charts in Python. With the help of Spyder IDE, we can easily write and execute Python code to generate various types of plots. By customizing the plots and plotting multiple lines, we can create visually appealing and informative visualizations of our data.

Mar 7, 2024 · An effective way to enable interactive plots in Spyder is to use the %matplotlib magic command within the IPython console. This command configures Matplotlib to work interactively. You can specify different backends based on your requirements, such as qt, inline, or notebook, to tailor the interactivity to the environment. Here’s an example:

If you'd like to develop your plotly figures in Spyder, perhaps because of Spyders superb variable explorer, you can easily display a non-interactive image by just running fig.show(). Note that this is for newer versions of plotly where you don't have to worry about iplot and plotly.offline .
