To get interactive plots, we need to activate the figure. Using plt.ioff() and plt.ion(), we can perform interactive actions with a plot.
Open Ipython shell and enter the following commands on the shell.
Example
In [1]: %matplotlib auto
Using matplotlib backend: GTK3Agg
In [2]: import matplotlib.pyplot as
In [3]: fig, ax = plt.subplots() # Diagram will pop up. Let’s interact.
In [4]: ln, = ax.plot(range(5)) # Drawing a line
In [5]: ln.set_color("orange") # Changing drawn line to orange
In [6]: plt.ioff() # Stopped interaction
In [7]: ln.set_color("red")
# Since we have stopped the interaction in the last step
In [8]: plt.ion() # Started interactionOutput
