%matplotlib incline

#1

Can you please explain why is ‘%matplotlib inline’ used here? what if we do not use it?

hey @mehta.rashita18 ,
you might have seen a new window coming out every time you plot something using matplotlib in your code file.
matplotlib has some backends for different works , a example is inline
%matplotlib inline sets matplotlib backend as inline which will make your plt.plot commands to work in the same way as they work jupyter notebooks , means plotting your graphs in code without creating new windows. But if you use it jupyter notebook , it just means that as your code is saved your plot will also be along with it.

I hope this might have resolved your doubt.
Thank You and Happy Learning :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi,
Thanks I got the difference,
but does that mean that using this in the jupyter notebook will not make any difference?

#4

yeah @mehta.rashita18. using jupyter notebook will not show much difference.
