How to plot in a new window in Spyder-IDE(Python)


My Spyder-IDE prints the plots in it's ipython console. How can I change the settings to do plotting on a new pop-up window?

Solution

  • You need to go to the menu

    Tools > Preferences > IPython console > Graphics > Graphics Backend

    and select the option called Automatic there.

    After doing that you need to restart either Spyder or the console kernel for this change to take effect.
