ipython pandas plot does not show

There could be 2 ways to approach this problem:

1) Either invoke the inline/osx/qt/gtk/gtk3/tk backend. Depends on the ipython console that you have been using. So, simply do:

%matplotlib inline #Here the inline backend is invoked, which removes the necessity of calling show after each plot.

or for ipython/qt console, do:

%matplotlib qt #This one works for me, thus, depends on the ipython console you use.

#

2) Or, do the traditional way as aforementioned (already answered above on this page):

plt.show() #However, you will have to call this show function each time.

Plots are not displayed until you run

plt.show()
