title: Stop showing plots in spyder
body: <p>I have scripts that make lots of plots. I save them directly with <code>plt.savefig()</code> rather than <code>plt.show()</code> so I don't have to close all the windows. In spyder, they all show up in the console if I use inline (meaning I have to scroll way back to see other output), and they all show up in separate windows if I use automatic. I want them to not show up at all, because I'm not calling <code>plt.show()</code> ever. How can I do that?</p>
  
  <p>nb: Both the suggested answers work! Thanks! I selected plt.ioff() as the correct answer since I can choose to do this for some scripts and not others.</p>
