title: Variable Explorer not showing plots in Spyder
body: <p>I just started with Python and installed WinPython and Spyder. The Variable Explorer is great but I cannot make it show any plots (Plot, Show Image, Histogram). Nothing happens when I select those options after choosing an array or any other type of variable. </p>
  
  <p>I can get plots to show using the Console or runnin a script. However, the plt.plot() command by itself does not make a plot window to show up. I have to execute plt.show() to get the window to be created. </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
