I don't think you can. You might have to embed it in your own custom user interface. — Wesley Baugh

@WesleyBaugh It can be done using rcParams. Making your own interface is a solution, but it is way overkill. — tacaswell

@tcaswell Cool, thanks. Tried some to search for it but the documentation for show() didn't give any hints on where to look (rcParams). Good to know! — Wesley Baugh

The place to look to see the logic is in the FigureManager sub-class in backend_*.py where the gui window is built. show just tells the figures (what ever they are) to draw and is backend agnostic, where as setting up the toolbar is very backend dependent. — tacaswell

You can disable the tool bar via rcParams. Either add (or uncomment) the line

toolbar: None

in your matplotlibrc file or dynamically,

rcParams['toolbar'] = 'None'
