[FIXED] pop-up plots using Python Jupyter Notebook

Issue

Is there a way to have the plots created inside Jupyter Notebook using matplotlib to appear on a separate pop-up screen that would allow you to expand/shrink the image by hand? I've tried experimenting with (%matplotlib notebook) but that didn't really do the trick.

Just wondering if this is possible.

Solution

Just use an interactive backend. This works for me:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib tk
plt.plot([1, 2])

The notebook (nbagg) backend also allows for expand/shrink by hand. It has some rough edges though.
