>From http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/usage_faq.html#non-interactive-example:

----------------------------------------------------------
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.ioff()
plt.plot([1.6, 2.7])

Nothing happened–or at least nothing has shown up on the screen
(unless you are using macosx backend, which is anomalous).
