I have a matplot view being output to the console. How would I adjust my code to output it to a new view instead?

The first bit of code is how the plot is going to the console.

The second is the view I want the plot to be in.

plt.plot(x, y)
    plt.title('Amplitude Vs Time')
    plt.show()

view = ui.View()
    view.background_color = 'white'
    view.present('sheet')

Something like this should work:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import ui

plt.plot([1, 2, 4, 2])

plt.savefig('plot.png')
img_view = ui.ImageView()
img_view.frame = (0, 0, 500, 500)
img_view.content_mode = ui.CONTENT_SCALE_ASPECT_FIT
img_view.image = ui.Image.named('plot.png')
img_view.present('sheet')

Oh I see. The power is in the plt.savefig(). So if the matplot is converted to an image, what form is it when we use plt.show() ?
