Plots appear twice in notebooks
See original GitHub issueEvery call to a plotting function produces two plots in a notebook, e.g.:
This is because our functions return the figure, which then automatically gets plotted in a notebook. In addition, we also see the plot which is explicitly produced by the function.
I don’t think _ = XXXX.plot() or XXXX.plot(); are good solutions (pretty ugly). The only way this works nicely is XXXX.plot(show=False).
Could we somehow fix this weird behavior? By weird I mean (1) there are either two figures (show=True) or (2) there is one figure but show=False sounds like there should be none.
What about setting show=False by default only in a notebook environment?

I think we are at least partly to blame. If you do
in a notebook, you only see the figure once, because the plotting function does not return the figure, but some sort of line collection. This is also what they recommend (
plotdoes not return aFigure), so I think it’s also the returning a Figure part that’s causing this issue specifically.Haha it’s kinda funny to see how the perception of what is and what is not correct behavior has changed over the past two years 😃
