Spyder Plot Inline

Question

Setup: Anaconda 2.0.0 (Win 64), Spyder (2.3.0rc that came with Anaconda)

I configure the graphics: Tools > Preferences > iPython console > Graphics > Graphics backend > Inline

But no matter what I do the graphics always open in a separate window? Is there a way to force them to be inline in the console?

Answer 1

From Spyder 4.0, figures now render in the new Plots pane by default, so the answer in the comments is outdated - for the benefit of people viewing this question in the future; figures can now be plotted inline by unchecking the "Mute Inline Plotting" option from the menu in the top-right of the Plots pane, as shown below.

Answer 2

If you are using the latest version of spyder, you just change "variable explore" to "plots", which shown above the console.
