matplotlib plot only shown in edit mode
Hello,
I have been trying Marimo over the weekend and I find it great.
All the problems bothering me in Jupyter Notes and some I didn't even realize I had seem to be addressed in Marimo.
There is one thing I cannot seem to figure out:
If I create a plot (the most basic plot) using matplotlib it shows correctly as long as I'm in edit mode but as soon as
I switch to View mode, or slide mode, or I run
marimo run my_notebook.py the matlib plots are not shown anymore.
I have also tried with plotly and I get the same problem, the plots are only visible when the notebook is in edit mode.
altair plots seem to be fine though ( they are also visible when I switch to view mode).
I thought this might be a limitation but then I saw examples where matplotlib is being used and the plots are successfully displayed,
like the example: Neural Networks with Micrograd

I've seen that the exmaple uses WASM and tried to generate a WASM application from my notebook using:
and then serving the generated html.
This did not seem to make any difference, the matplotlib plots still do not show.
Am I missing something ?
Thank you in advance for any answers or suggestions.9 replies
