[FIXED] How to plot in a new window in Spyder-IDE(Python)

Issue

My Spyder-IDE prints the plots in it's ipython console. How can I change the settings to do plotting on a new pop-up window?

Solution

You need to go to the menu

Tools > Preferences > IPython console > Graphics > Graphics Backend

and select the option called Automatic there.

After doing that you need to restart either Spyder or the console kernel for this change to take effect.
