Whenever I use matplotlib, I will perform something like the following in an
ipython shell (no special flags):
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
<do things, like adding axes to the figure and plotting>
fig.show() # this will cause the window to pop up, and give me back a
prompt for ipython
<do more things, like modifying the axes and updating using plt.draw()>
fig.savefig(...) # if you want to save a copy
<do more things>
As far as I have seen, this is not one of the recommended methods in the
documentation, and considering my cursory understanding of the internals,
I'm not sure if this is technically correct or a hack, but it works
perfectly well for me. I discovered this function in Figure objects when I
was trying to get around exactly the same problem.

Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] plotting from within ipython, and then go on
in the shell calculations
but i want to:
1) plot something
2) go on in ipython (with the figure/plot staying on)
is that really not possible?
thanks,
