What is the Python image viewer on OSX called?

179 Views Asked by At

I am used to IDEs having their own image viewing system, but am making the move to using atom editor and terminal on OSX. When I run a python script, like test.py, and call the plt.show() function from matplotlib, the default Python Viewer appears, as shown in the following image. What is the name of this viewer?

Python Viewer

I want to research how to utilize the viewer better like how to load multiple images into the viewer, but do not know where to start. The name would help. Thanks.

What you see if not an image viewer, but the output of the chosen Matplotlib backend. Your image looks like the MacOSX backend, but you can choose various others depending on your matplotlib installation.
