Image png not saving

[SJaffa]

fig = plt.figure()
data.loc['Italy'].plot()
data.loc['Sweden'].plot()
fig.xticks(rotation=90)
plt.ylabel('GDP per capita (USD$)')
plt.show()

plt.savefig('plot2.png')

This is slow for some people and seemed to save just a white square??

The problem seems to be calling plt.show() before plt.savefig, reverting them will fix the problem but jupyter will not automatically update the open png. You have to close it and open it again.
