I am trying to use IPython notebook on MacOS X with Python 2.7.2 and IPython 1.1.0.
I cannot get matplotlib graphics to show up inline.
import matplotlib
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
I have also tried %pylab inline
and the ipython command line arguments --pylab=inline
but this makes no difference.
x = np.linspace(0, 3*np.pi, 500)
plt.plot(x, np.sin(x**2))
plt.title('A simple chirp')
plt.show()
Instead of inline graphics, I get this:
<matplotlib.figure.Figure at 0x110b9c450>
And matplotlib.get_backend()
shows that I have the 'module://IPython.kernel.zmq.pylab.backend_inline'
backend.
