Matplotlib Jupyter Extension

jupyter-matplotlib

Leveraging the Jupyter interactive widgets framework, jupyter-matplotlib enables the interactive features of matplotlib in the Jupyter notebook and in Jupyterlab.

Besides, the figure canvas element is a proper Jupyter interactive widget which can be positioned in interactive widget layouts.

Usage

To enable the jupyter-matplotlib backend, simply use the matplotlib Jupyter magic:

%matplotlib widget
