You'll need to run a so-called matplotlib 'magic' to set the backend to notebook. In other words, after importing matplotlib in your code (but before rawing any actualy figure), insert a line
%matplotlib notebook |
in your code (see also the official Matplotlib documentation on backends, e.g. https://matplotlib.org/3.2.1/tutorials/introductory/usage.html#backends).
Example
As an example, you can put the following in a Python notebook (note the '%matplotlib notebook' line):
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.widgets import Slider, Button, RadioButtons
%matplotlib notebook
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.25, bottom=0.25)
t = np.arange(0.0, 1.0, 0.001)
a0 = 5
f0 = 3
delta_f = 5.0
s = a0 * np.sin(2 * np.pi * f0 * t)
l, = plt.plot(t, s, lw=2)
ax.margins(x=0)
axcolor = 'lightgoldenrodyellow'
axfreq = plt.axes([0.25, 0.1, 0.65, 0.03], facecolor=axcolor)
axamp = plt.axes([0.25, 0.15, 0.65, 0.03], facecolor=axcolor)
sfreq = Slider(axfreq, 'Freq', 0.1, 30.0, valinit=f0, valstep=delta_f)
samp = Slider(axamp, 'Amp', 0.1, 10.0, valinit=a0)
def update(val):
amp = samp.val
freq = sfreq.val
l.set_ydata(amp*np.sin(2*np.pi*freq*t))
fig.canvas.draw_idle()
sfreq.on_changed(update)
samp.on_changed(update)
resetax = plt.axes([0.8, 0.025, 0.1, 0.04])
button = Button(resetax, 'Reset', color=axcolor, hovercolor='0.975')
def reset(event):
sfreq.reset()
samp.reset()
button.on_clicked(reset)
rax = plt.axes([0.025, 0.5, 0.15, 0.15], facecolor=axcolor)
radio = RadioButtons(rax, ('red', 'blue', 'green'), active=0)
def colorfunc(label):
l.set_color(label)
fig.canvas.draw_idle()
radio.on_clicked(colorfunc)
plt.show()
