Interactive Graph not working in Jupyter notebook about netgraph HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi, thanks for raising the issue.

A couple of points.

1. netgraph is purely build on matplotlib, so your issue is a compatibility issue between matplotlib and jupyter.

2. Specifically, for interactive graphs, you need to be running a matplotlib backend that is interactive. IIRC, the default backend for notebooks is non-interactive. Prepending %matplotlib notebook to your code activates the notebook matplotlib backend, which supports interactivity in notebooks. There are many available backends for matplotlib. You can learn about them here.

%matplotlib notebook

import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import netgraph

...

3. Interactive drawing in notebooks with current versions of matplotlib is currently bugged and hence excruciatingly slow. See this issue. Also there appear to be additional issues with firefox. Depending on what matplotlib version and browser you are using, results may hence be subpar even with the correct backend.

I am closing this issue as it appears unrelated to my code base. If you have a counterexample or any further questions regarding this problem, feel free to re-open.
