Bring matplotlib window to the front

[Herbert Sauro]

Is there anyway to bring a matplotlib window to the front of the screen after a call to show()? I am not using the IPython window. I've tried the following without success:

thismanager = plt.get_current_fig_manager()

thismanager.window.activateWindow()

thismanager.window.raise_()

I figured out I can move the plot window using:

thismanager.window.move (900,400)

Every time I do a plot the plot window appears then dispersal behind the spyder2 IDE meaning I have to bring it forward manually every time. The alternative is to arrange the plot window and IDE side by side, luckily the plot window appears to remember its last position. 

Any suggests welcomed.

Hi,

What's your operating system? Windows, Linux, Mac? On Linux the figure
always appears on front of Spyder, whereas on Mac it always goes to the
background. I think Windows has the same behavior that Linux.

However, if you're on Mac, I really don't know how to change the
situation. You could get a better answer in StackOverflow.

Cheers,
Carlos
