Exec. summary - I was having strange behavior with matshow in a loop and
also with discrepancies between how iPython Notebook and Python via IDE
displayed plots.
Solutions:
1) Using pause instead of show fixed matshow in a loop
2) Explicitly invoking %matplotblib qt or generally %matplotlib
{backend} before importing or using matplotlib fixed various problems
with plots in notebooks. Now when I create a plot in a notebook, it
appears, I can work with it, close it when appropriate, and
simultaneously be able to do other work in notebook cells.
Thanks to everyone for the rapid responses.
