Show the figure created by matplotlib in Emacs' frame.

Show the figure created by matplotlib in Emacs' frame.

In Emacs, I run the python script [1] using `C-c C-c' provided with
the elpy package. A standalone window will be opened to show the
generated figure, as shown in the attached screenshot file.

But I want to know whether I can let Emacs render the figure in its own frame.

Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

I have nothing ready-made to offer, but one option that comes to mind is to save
the plot to a file instead of calling `plt.show()` and then have Emacs open that
file.

An alternative would be to use Org mode and put your code in a source block,
then you can have the plot appear directly in your Org file below the source
code.

(To add to what is already suggested) I've heard of a new package for
this.

Supplementary note: Another tool that can do similar work is python-cell.el [1].

Maybe I misunderstood the function of this package. See here [1] for
the relevant issue filed by me.
