Hi,

I am not sure if I have missed anything. I have just installed PyCharm 2017.3 today and when I import mathplotlib, and do plt.show() in my python console, nothing happened. 

The instruction below said that graph should be plotted in the SciView box:

I need help to get this work.

Best,

Louis

For me

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('module://backend_interagg')

fixed this issue on MacOSX. The plot now shows up in SciView sidebar.
