Enthought + PyCharm - cannot show plots anymore

I have on Mac OS X PyCharm with Enthought set up as interpreter:

~/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User

However, it does not show any of the plots from matplotlib. 

import pandas as pd
from numpy import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ts = pd.Series(random.randn(1000), index=pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=1000))
ts = ts.cumsum()
ts.plot()

This just gives me Out[124]: <matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot at 0x10dd29f90>. It does not show the plot, nor does it do anything else. No error, nothing.

Solution

  • You're missing the call to the show() function that will display the plot items.

    import pandas as pd
from numpy import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ts = pd.Series(random.randn(1000), index=pd.date_range('1/1/2000', periods=1000))
ts = ts.cumsum()
ts.plot()
plt.show()

    PyCharm is more than likely not configured in interactive mode with matplotlib.
