Apparently the trick is to load the ipympl package, and then in Jupyter Lab enter the magic command %matplotlib widget and then include your code for points to be added. But when I do this, all that happens is a notice: Loading widget... and then nothing. How can I obtain an animated plot in Jupyter Lab? Note that I'm looking possibly at several million points, the idea is that as more points are plotted a shape starts to materialize. FWIW: Python 3.14.5 Jupyter and all its packages have been updated Thanks! submitted by /u/amca01 [link] [comments]
