Unable to show figures in VS Code #596
Description
Describe the issue
In VS Code Jupyter Notebook, after using %matplotlib widget or %matplotlib ipympl, no figures will show.
Minimal example:
# Enabling the `widget` backend.
# This requires jupyter-matplotlib a.k.a. ipympl.
# ipympl can be install via pip or conda.
%matplotlib widget
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
# Testing matplotlib interactions with a simple plot
fig = plt.figure()
plt.plot(np.sin(np.linspace(0, 20, 100)))
