No plots shown with `matplotlib widget`

See original GitHub issue

The widget backend doesn’t seem to work for me. Even very simple plots don’t show up. This issue looks like #171, but for me even simple matplotlib plots don’t show up.

Behaviour with inline backend

%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.plot([[1, 2], [0, 0]])

Behaviour with widget backend

%matplotlib widget
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.plot([[1, 2], [0, 0]])

There isn’t a new window with the plot either.

Sorry to ask where should I running the above commands? Should i try it in my conda envirment? I get this results and there is still no plots shown in my jupyter notebook cell:

If you’re using anaconda, you should probably use the conda package manager: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ipympl
