I have scripts that make lots of plots. I save them directly with plt.savefig() rather than plt.show() so I don't have to close all the windows. In spyder, they all show up in the console if I use inline (meaning I have to scroll way back to see other output), and they all show up in separate windows if I use automatic. I want them to not show up at all, because I'm not calling plt.show() ever. How can I do that?
nb: Both the suggested answers work! Thanks! I selected plt.ioff() as the correct answer since I can choose to do this for some scripts and not others.
Try this (assuming imported pyplot as plt), at the start of the code somewhere:
plt.ioff()
