Hello,

I am trying to visualize my raw data using the mne.plot() function. Although I am able to visualize them, the graph is not interactive. I already set the matplotlib backend to interactive, but nothing happens (i.e. I cannot scroll the data or do any type of operation). I read a previous post on this, but that could not solve the issue. I am using mne in Spyder (python 2.7) in Windows. Any idea what the problem could be?

Best,

DR

Can you open an MNE issue so we can triage there? It's probably some  
backend problem but it might take some iteration to get it right.
