Interact support

[Evizero]

When using @manipulate the plot doesn't change after the first time it's drawn

I managed to get @manipulate running as expected by directly returning plt.o. This however only works for a gadfly backend AFAIK

[Evizero]

I am trying to figure out how I could fix this, but I am a little out of my league here. I can't quite pin down what makes Gadfly work with interact that's missing for Plots. Do you have any intuition what the missing piece could be?

I haven't worked with interact... I only have a high level understanding of how it works. I'll dig into it when I have a chance.

Looking at this now... it seems like display(plot(...)) should be called on a slider change. This is the "gui mode" call in Plots. I'll try to pin down what does/doesn't work in Plots and fix it all.

I can't even get it to work with Gadfly. This may take longer than I want.

My current workaround is by returning plt.o directly. That only works for gadfly.
In the case of having multiple plots I use

Compose.set_default_graphic_size(22cm, 10cm) # have to set this explicitly
Gadfly.hstack(p1.o, p2.o)

👍🏽 Using

@manipulate for k=1:10
     plot(...).o 
end

works for me

[tbreloff]

I clearly have something weird with my setup. I tried running this from a fresh IJulia notebook:

using Plots, Interact; gadfly()
@manipulate for k=1:10
    plot(rand(100,k)).o 
end

Based on your posts, I would expect that to work, but the cell just hangs, never finishing or outputting anything.

For Gadfly, a better hack (until we figure out why it doesn't work directly) for subplots would look like:

using Plots, Interact; gadfly()
@manipulate for k=1:10
    getGadflyContext(subplot(rand(100,k))) 
end

This is untested of course because @manipulate just hangs for me.

Bizarre, your first example works for me. I’m on “master” for Interact, and jupyter 4.0.6.

This issue also affects Juno compatibility:

using Plots;gadfly()
plot(1:10,1:10)

puts the plot in the Console, so you need

plot(1:10,1:10).o

to plot inline.

Plots (using Gadfly as backend) doesn't work with Interact. The plots don't respond to the slider, and two instead of one plot is generated:

Try using

plt.o

In place of the last plt

Thanks @dlfivefifty ! It works using .o

[tbreloff]

I was just looking at this, and Interact seems to work with all backends except plotlyjs (which seems to break the notebook?). Closing this, and I'll add an item to the plotly meta-issue. cc: @spencerlyon2

I believe that things should work quite well with PlotlyJS.

@tbreloff can you confirm? If it is still an issue please tell me about it.
