What does %Matplotlib inline mean?

The line magic command %matplotlib inline enables the drawing of matplotlib figures in the IPython environment. Once this command is executed in any cell, then for the rest of the session, the matplotlib plots will appear directly below the cell in which the plot function was called.

Do I still need %Matplotlib inline?

The only reason %matplotlib inline is used is to render any matplotlib diagrams even if the plt. show() function is not called. However, even if %matplotlib inline is not used, Jupyter will still display the Matplotlib diagram as an object, with something like matplotlib. lines.

What does %Matplotlib Inline do in a Jupyter notebook?

%matplotlib inline sets the backend of matplotlib to the 'inline' backend: With this backend, the output of plotting commands is displayed inline within frontends like the Jupyter notebook, directly below the code cell that produced it. The resulting plots will then also be stored in the notebook document.
