matplotlib 3.5.1

ParametersBackRef
show(self, warn=True)

If the figure was not created using ~.pyplot.figure , it will lack a ~.backend_bases.FigureManagerBase , and this method will raise an AttributeError.

warning

This does not manage an GUI event loop. Consequently, the figure may only be shown briefly or not shown at all if you or your environment are not managing an event loop.

Proper use cases for :None:None:`.Figure.show` include running this from a GUI application or an IPython shell.

If you're running a pure python shell or executing a non-GUI python script, you should use :None:None:`matplotlib.pyplot.show` instead, which takes care of managing the event loop for you.

Parameters

warn : bool, default: True

If True and we are not running headless (i.e. on Linux with an unset DISPLAY), issue warning when called on a non-GUI backend.

If using a GUI backend with pyplot, display the figure window.

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
