Interactive matplotlib through Eclipse PyDev

Question

This is a follow up to this interactive matplolib through eclipse thread which is about 2 years old, I was wondering if there has been any progress in the meantime.

Answer 1

You can solve this problem by selecting a GUI for the Interactive Console in PyDev Preference.

Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Pydev -> Interactive Console -> Enable GUI event loop integration.

In my case, I chose PyQt (qt/qt4)
