What is nbagg backend?

What is nbagg backend?

The nbagg backend The backend makes use of the infrastructure developed for the webagg backend, which itself gives standalone server backed interactive figures in the browser, however nbagg does not require a dedicated matplotlib server as all communications are handled through the IPython Comm machinery.

What is TkAgg backend?

With the TkAgg backend, which uses the Tkinter user interface toolkit, you can use matplotlib from an arbitrary non-gui python shell. Just set your backend : TkAgg and interactive : True in your matplotlibrc file (see Customizing matplotlib) and fire up python.

Where is matplotlib used?

Matplotlib is a cross-platform, data visualization and graphical plotting library for Python and its numerical extension NumPy. As such, it offers a viable open source alternative to MATLAB. Developers can also use matplotlib’s APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to embed plots in GUI applications.

How do I make matplotlib interactive?

To configure the integration and enable interactive mode use the %matplotlib magic:

1. In [1]: %matplotlib Using matplotlib backend: Qt5Agg In [2]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt. Create a new figure window:
2. In [3]: fig, ax = plt. subplots()
3. In [4]: ln, = ax. plot(range(5))
4. In [5]: ln.

6. In [7]: plt.

What is matplotlib inline Jupyter?

%matplotlib inline sets the backend of matplotlib to the ‘inline’ backend: With this backend, the output of plotting commands is displayed inline within frontends like the Jupyter notebook, directly below the code cell that produced it. The resulting plots will then also be stored in the notebook document.
