How to make the plot not disappear?

Question

Suppose you need to store the figure and subplot in variables (to later modify attributes). How can you make the whole figure to stay and not quickly disappear after some millisecs?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure() 

ax = fig.add_subplot(2,2,1)
ax.plot(1)

fig.show()

What does "Easy: `plt.show()`" mean? Is it the answer to your question? — David Robinson, Sep 11 '12 at 12:34
Yeah! For some reason I changed `plt` to `fig`. I think to keep the question. It can be tricky to find out, since both objects support `show()`. — ritter, Sep 11 '12 at 12:49
In that case, you should answer the question yourself (and accept after 24 hours) — David Robinson, Sep 11 '12 at 16:26

For me if you have `#plt.ion() # interactive mode, careful with uncommenting, things will dissapear` things disappear. Careful! – Charlie Parker Jul 10 '19 at 20:03
