Empty `matplotlibrc` file, except for `backend : macosx`\n\nWhen creating a figure in non-interactive mode in ipython, matplotlib behaves as expected:\n\n```\nimport matplotlib.pylab as pl\npl.ioff()\npl.figure()\npl.show()\n```\n\nGives me a nice on-screen figure. When I do the same in interactive mode (change `ioff()` to `ion()`) I get no on-screen figure, nothing. Exact the same happens when I use `pl.ioff()` combined with `pl.show(block=False)`, i.e. I again get no on-screen figure.\n\nCould this be a bug in matplotlib? \n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/bartvstratum","@type":"Person","name":"bartvstratum"},"datePublished":"2016-07-26T13:33:14.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/6838/matplotlib/issues/6838"}
