Jupyter (IPython) notebook not plotting

Question

I installed anaconda to use pandas and scipy. I reading and watching pandas tutorials and they all say to open the ipython notebook using

 ipython notebook -         


        

Answer 1

I believe the pylab magic was removed when they transitioned from IPython to a more general Jupyter notebook.

Try:

%matplotlib inline

Also when you get a message like:

"matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0xebf8b70".

That's just IPython displaying the object. You need to specify IPython display it. Hence the matplotlib inline magic.
