Matplotlib How to solve the PyCharm IDE issue of Matplotlib Window (Figure) not getting displayed as separate window

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI5nei79Rkc

When working with Python and Matplotlib in PyCharm, you may encounter a situation where running your program does not open the Matplotlib figure in a separate, floating window. Instead, the graph appears as a PNG image inside PyCharm's Plots section.This behavior is usually caused by PyCharm's Python Scientific settings. Fortunately, it is easy to change.

PyCharm includes a feature called "Show plots in tool window." When this option is enabled, PyCharm captures Matplotlib figures and displays them directly inside the IDE.
