Follow example text in item 2 above for steps 5 and 6 after cd'ing to the tutorial folder\r\n5. >>> gc = aplpy.FITSFigure('fits/2MASS_k.fits')\r\n6. >>> gc.show_grayscale()\r\n\r\nExternal matplotlib window does not pop up. The outline of a plot is drawn to the ipython console, but no data is displayed.  When I run ipython from an xterm window the steps above work perfectly. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? \n\nPlease provide any additional information below\n\n.\n\n**Attachment:** [aplpy_difficulty.tiff](http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=1538)\n\n_Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=1538_"}}
