I'm on MacOSX, with two monitors using matplotlib. I like to have my terminals on my main screen and a web browser or plots I'm making on the secondary monitor. When using matplotlib or in ipython --pylab, whenever I make a new figure it shows up behind my terminals on my main monitor. It'd be nice if I could change the default so new plots always appear somewhere on my second monitor.

How can I change the default on screen figure location in matplotlib?

  • Close, I was hoping for a solution I could set in an rc file somewhere. In the link you posted one would have to set this parameter in every script / at the beginning of every sesssion. Although this is fine in the meantime. – bill_e Jun 09 '15 at 00:15

    can you just add the setting to your `matplotlibrc` file? – Christopher Pearson Jun 09 '15 at 04:30
  • Oh.. Yup looks like I can. Thanks @ChristopherPearson – bill_e Jun 09 '15 at 15:08
