This is a question I've been meaning to ask for quite some time and always postponed.

In a Jupyter notebook (v6.0.1) I constantly find myself having to switch backends between %matplotlib inline and %matplotlib widget (i.e. ipympl). Whenever I go from inline to widget, I have to run the cell several times and, somehow, "with the right timing", so that the backend actually kicks in. Any ideas as to why?

  • Not quite, I don't get a blank plot but rather inline is returned even though I called for widget (or notebook) - which I do twice as suggested. Of course it works fine if the kernel is restarted, but that kind of nullifies the whole idea of being able to switch backends... Commented Nov 8, 2019 at 16:44
  • No sure, but it's the same underlying issue (which would answer the question as to why). Commented Nov 8, 2019 at 17:09
