When is plt.Show() required to show a plot and when is it not?
plt.Show() would help whenever there is no interactive plot.
fig.Show() would help to display all the figures if it is interactive.
Let's take an example to observe the difference between plt.Show() and fig.Show().
Steps
Open iPython shell.
Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
Create a new figure or activate an existing figure.
Plot a line using plot() method.
Display the figure using Show() method.
To display the figure, use Show() method with block=False.
Example
import numpy as np from matplotlib import pyplot as plt # Set the figure size plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True # Create a new figure fig = plt.figure() # Plot a line plt.plot(np.linspace(-5, 5, 100)) fig.show() plt.show(block=False)
Output
It will produce the following output −
You would get this output only in interactive mode. plt.Show() with block=True would show the output when there is no interactive plot.
