It's ok. no need for that. I was wrong anyway it was 1.4.3 all along. I did find a way to keep this from happening. import PyPlot PyPlot.switch_backend("Agg"); PyPlot.pygui(true); PyPlot.ioff(); PyPlot.svg(true); and then use fig = PyPlot.gcf(); display(fig) but that does not consume the figure, so you must perform PyPlot.gcf() afterwards, or just before the new figure.
