Matplotlib plots not showing up in Mac OSX?

Question

I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8. I installed matplotlib using macports. I get some examples from the matplotlib gallery like this one, without modification:

Answer 1

As a temporary work around one can save the figure to a .png/.jpg/.pdf and make use of that file for the moment.

## assuming price is out DataFrame that contains columns that we want to plot 
pdf_plot=price.plot().get_figure()  
pdf_plot.savefig('Stocks.pdf')
