I am running the exact code as below which was a part of an answer for updating plots (see: How to update a plot in matplotlib). The problem is that the figure window never show up. The program runs and the python emblem starts to load but then it finishes without showing anything. Im on Mac and use VScode. Thanks for the help!
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 6*np.pi, 100)
y = np.sin(x)
# You probably won't need this if you're embedding things in a tkinter plot...
plt.ion()
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
line1, = ax.plot(x, y, 'r-') # Returns a tuple of line objects, thus the comma
for phase in np.linspace(0, 10*np.pi, 500):
line1.set_ydata(np.sin(x + phase))
fig.canvas.draw()
fig.canvas.flush_events()
