The reported backend is by default `inline` and everything is fine.\r\n\r\nStarting with version 3.9.1, the default backend apparently switched to `macosx`. When I try to plot something now, a new Python window pops up, but no plot is created unless I add `plt.show()`.\r\n\r\nIs this the intended behavior? It breaks essentially all of my notebooks because I would have to go in and add `%matplotlib inline` to make things work again.\r\n\r\n\r\n### Code for reproduction\r\n\r\n```Python\r\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\r\n\r\nimport matplotlib\r\n\r\nprint(matplotlib.get_backend())\r\n\r\nplt.plot([0, 1, 2], [1, 2, 3])\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Actual outcome\r\n\r\nWith `matplotlib\u003c=3.9.0`:\r\n\r\n\u003cimg width=\"941\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/35144b43-2452-455c-a93a-2d4f63ea2123\"\u003e\r\n\r\nWith `matplotlib\u003e3.9.0`:\r\n\r\n\u003cimg width=\"720\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c4d9e93-b7da-48a8-8551-d3b56874a450\"\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n### Expected outcome\r\n\r\nDefault backend should be `inline` in `matplotlib\u003e3.9.0`.\r\n\r\n### Additional information\r\n\r\n_No response_\r\n\r\n### Operating system\r\n\r\nMacOS Ventura 13.4.1 \r\n\r\n### Matplotlib Version\r\n\r\n3.9.0, 3.9.1, 3.9.2\r\n\r\n### Matplotlib Backend\r\n\r\ninline, macosx\r\n\r\n### Python version\r\n\r\n3.12.5\r\n\r\n### Jupyter version\r\n\r\n6.5.1\r\n\r\n### Installation\r\n\r\npip","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Simon-Stone","@type":"Person","name":"Simon-Stone"},"datePublished":"2024-09-20T19:03:55.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":16},"url":"https://github.com/28855/matplotlib/issues/28855"}
