Running a py file from cmd that contain matplotlib plot

Question

I am trying to run a python file (test.py) from command line in windows that contain a matplotlib plot. The file is running but the plot is only appearing for a fraction of second.

Here is the content of test.py:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(range(10))

I am using the following command in cmd:

ipython test.py --matplotlib
