plt.ioff() not supressing figure generation #14950
Comments
|
If I remember correctly, Spyder has its own backend, right? I wonder if
they aren't properly recognizing `ioff()`? Does the same issue happen when
running the code from a vanilla python interface?

Spyder does not have its own backend (PyCharm has, though).
Many people like this mode, because it allows to choose a backend on a by-file- or by-project basis etc., but support for consequences of using this should probably directed towards Spyder. |

If I force inline plots by disabling Matplotlib support in Spyder, the interactive mode works correctly. Inline also works correctly when manually selected as the graphics backend. The other modes don't work as I'd expect. I'd always used the "Automatic" setting, which would probably be Qt5. Manually selecting Qt5 had the behaviour described in the OP - plt.ioff() failed to suppress the generation of a figure window. Of the other two modes, Qt4 failed to run because Qt5 was running (?), and Tkinter was successfully suppressed, but failed to display a plot when interactive mode was selected. A figure window was generated, but frozen. This might be an issue with missing modules or something though? I'm not exactly a dev. Is this a problem with matplotlib? Or perhaps an issue with the Spyder IDE failing to adhere to the interactive mode settings? |

Indeed it doesn't look like a Spyder issue. I was able to reproduce solemnly on the Ipython QtConsole, running
Now it turns out this is indeed a matplotlib issue. #12637 ("Tell IPython the correct GUI event loop to use for all backends.") |

Suspect that ipython/ipython#11837 is also related. |

Yes, but that's not really an option if you want to run your whole code in one cell, like e.g. spyder does. |

See #14979 for the fix of the IPython side issue; and thomas is right that the piece of code that is responsible for the IPython-side-issue seem to also enable matplotlib gui integration and switch back to interactive. It seem to be triggered as a side effect of |

Actual outcome
In Spyder IDE, still generates figure window.
Expected outcome
Figure window should not appear. plt.ioff() should disable interactive mode, and require a plt.show() call to generate figure window.
