matplotlib plotting is not working in google colab
Solution 1
According to colab
docs:
In the IPython notebook, you also have the option of embedding graphics directly in the notebook, with two possible options:
%matplotlib notebook
will lead to interactive plots embedded within the notebook.
%matplotlib inline
will lead to static images of your plot embedded in the notebook.
Solution 2
Plotting from an IPython notebook
The IPython notebook is a browser-based interactive data analysis tool that can combine narrative, code, graphics, HTML elements, and much more into a single executable document.
Plotting interactively within an IPython notebook can be done with the %matplotlib command, and works in a similar way to the IPython shell. In the IPython notebook, you also have the option of embedding graphics directly in the notebook, with two possible options:
%matplotlib notebook
will lead to interactive plots embedded within the notebook%matplotlib inline
will lead to static images of your plot embedded in the notebook

I wanted to use matplotlib in colab but it didn't work. As this link says I tried both
%matplotlib inline
and%matplotlib notebook
but they both didn't work. But can I ask why this link plots are working well? It seems it's just using normal matplotlib with%matplotlib inline
. I want to know the difference. -
June Yoon over 3 yearsI tried both but they didn't work. My question is why, nonetheless, that this link plots are working correctly.
