prevent plot from showing in jupyter notebook
Solution 1:
Perhaps just clear the axis, for example:
fig= plt.figure()
plt.plot(range(10))
fig.savefig("save_file_name.pdf")
plt.close()
will not plot the output in inline mode. I can't work out if is really clearing the data though.
Solution 2:
I was able to prevent my figures from displaying by turning interactive mode off using the function
plt.ioff()
Solution 3:
To prevent any output from a jupyter notebook cell you may start the cell with
%%capture
This might be usefull in cases all other methods shown here fail.
