I've seen the exact same question around but the answers didn't help me. like those questions: Cannot show the graphs on ipython notebook

How to make IPython notebook matplotlib plot inline

So I decided to post a question so i could post my code, see if there is anything different... hopefully it's something very dull that I'm missing. although the code runs perfectly in ipython shell. Thanks in advance !

%matplotlib inline

import matplotlib
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.linspace(0, 3*np.pi, 500)
plt.plot(x, np.sin(x**2))
plt.title('A simple chirp')
plt.show()

PS: I'm using Anaconda distribution, and I launched notebook by the shortcut that comes with it IPython (Python 2.7) Notebook

PS2: the output I get is virtually none.

this works fine for me in a notebook. – tmdavison Aug 14 '15 at 13:45
That's weird. I'll try to post a screenshot. Maybe something to do with the distribution ? – Pedro Braz Aug 14 '15 at 13:46

oh all right. that's just odd ! maybe some issue with firefox ? windows 7 ? you just clicked Cell > Run All or Shift+ Enter or whatever right ? – Pedro Braz Aug 14 '15 at 13:52
I clicked the play button, but just tried Cell>Run All and Shift+Enter, and both worked – tmdavison Aug 14 '15 at 13:53
god that's frustrating. but thank you a lot for tyring to help. I'll just reboot the whole thing ! – Pedro Braz Aug 14 '15 at 14:01
Do I have to save the notebook to any specific directory ? basic code like (1+3) works – Pedro Braz Aug 14 '15 at 14:12
no, it should just work wherever you are. – tmdavison Aug 14 '15 at 14:15
That little * in the In[] box means you're supposed to wait. Maybe something is confusing your program. Does it ever go away? – brian Aug 14 '15 at 15:03
out of the blue it works ! thanks a lots guys ! I think I'll delete this question though, doesn't really add anything to anyone, since it ghostly fixed itself. thanks ! – Pedro Braz Aug 14 '15 at 15:08
