Matplotlib is a standard Python graphing library. The extension enables interactivity inside the plots. It is possible to link plots with widgets for interactive data analysis.

The installation requires a kernel extension, ipympl, as well as a JupyterLab extension, jupyter-matplotlib. Let's have a look at the following commands:

conda install -c conda-forge ipympl

# If using the Notebook
conda install -c conda-forge widgetsnbextension

# If using JupyterLab
conda install nodejs
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
jupyter labextension install jupyter-matplotlib

The preceding command will return the following output:
