Hide Matplotlib descriptions in Jupyter notebook

To hide matplotlib descriptions of an instance while calling plot() method, we can take the following steps −

• Open Ipython instance.

• import numpy as np

• from matplotlib, import pyplot as plt

• Create points for x, i.e., np.linspace(1, 10, 1000)

• Now, plot the line using plot() method.

• To hide the instance, use plt.plot(x); i.e., (with semi-colon)

• Or, use _ = plt.plot(x)

Example

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

In [3]: x = np.linspace(1, 10, 1000)

In [4]: plt.plot(x)
Out[4]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7faa3852fac8>]

In [5]: plt.plot(x);

In [6]: _ = plt.plot(x)

In [7]:

Output

Out[4]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7faa3852fac8>]
