I had a similar issue and this thread mostly solved it, save for one remaining bug. If I also call a different module in my main program that does the plotting in MPL, and then I modify that module, then when I try to run it again in ipython it acts as if the module I imported has not been changed. If I change the main program those changes appear, but none of the changes in the separate module appear.
When I exit ipython and restart everything works normally again, but I would rather not have to do that every time I edit one of the modules I am importing. Any ideas? Thanks.
