使用 PyCharm 我想显示额外的图形窗口

Question

After installing Anaconda3 & PyCharm in new PC, I tried to test the same code as uploaded here

And I got a window like this.

But usually I use the plot window like this format (from google image search)

I think the first view is useful for checking all of the plots, but I'm already used to the second version, separated plot figure from PyCharm console, and I can use the control panel.

So I want to use PyCharm as in the second picture. How can I change my PyCharm settings to use the second version plot figure (extra window)?

Answer 1

That's because PyCharm is opening it in Sciview. Go to Settings => search for Python Scientific. Uncheck the (only) box Show plots in toolwindows. Restart Pycharm. It should work like a charm ;)

According to this , you can manually change the backend to fix the issue:

matplotlib.use('Qt5Agg')

Thank you, @ImportanceOfBeingErnest , for digging up the thread.

You need first to check if you have Pycharm Community or Pycharm Professional. You can plot in different windows just in case you have a professional version. You can use seeting -> scientific python ( link : https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/matplotlib-support.html ). Or, use matplotlib backends: Qt5Agg, Qt4Agg and TkAgg. ( https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360004382380-Matplotlib-doesn-t-show-plots-in-new-window )

However, I can suggest you to download your plot in a file and close the window. So, you can have your plots in different windows. Check out this code:

file = '___your path___'
... make your code for visualisation 
plt.show()
plt.savefig(file+'\\fig.png')
plt.close('all')

I was having the same problem, and not resolving it by only switching off scientific mode. Just press command + shift + A or control + shift+ A and search python scientific, then clic on it and deselect show plots in tool window, you should be all set now.
