grblogtools plotting problems in VS Code

Answered

I´m experiencing some issues with the interactive plotting functions in grblogtools.

When I run the example notebook from github, the glt.plot(summary) runs without error, but there is no figure generated.

My guess is that this is a problem related to plotly renderers, but I have not been able to find a solution. I am running the notebook using the Jupyter extension in VS Code, would be great to hear if anybody has seen the same issue and perhaps found a solution?

Best Regards,

Henrik

  Hi Henrik!

  The default behavior of \(\tt{glt.plot()}\) is to wait until the "type" of plot is selected before actually drawing the plot. You can shortcut this by specifying the "type" right away when calling the function:

  glt.plot(summary, type="box")

  I just tested the notebook in VSCode using the built-in notebook view and right after selecting a plot type, the plot appeared below the selection widget.

  Cheers,
  Matthias

  Hello Matthias!

  Thanks for your reply. My problem is that the selection widgets for plot type etc. are not appearing. Specifying the type "box" gives a plot, but I am still missing the dropdown selections for x,y, color etc... 

  This is what it looks like when I run it:

  Hmm, interesting. Until now, I have only seen cases with the plots not appearing despite selecting everything in the widget.

  I suppose this is a VSCode/Jupyter issue. We are using ipywidgets for the widgets - maybe you need to update that package? If that does not work, I suggest working with the notebook in the browser - this is the most stable way for all those visualizations. Both VSCode and Jupyter are continuously evolving, so there is always the probability of something breaking.

  Cheers,
  Matthias

  Hi, I have the same problem. I upgrade all packages but it does not work. I copy the file on google colab and it works.

  The VS Code Jupyter extension has only very very recently started supporting IPyWidgets 8.* - previously it was only up to IPyWidgets 7.*

  I tried again today after updating VS Code and sure enough it works fine now! Thanks!
