Jupyter, Interactive Matplotlib: Hide the toolbar of the interactive view

Question

I am starting using the interactive plotting from Matplotlib:

%matplotlib notebook
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, figsize=(8, 3))
pl         


        

Answer 1

I disabled the interactive mode buttons and toolbar with some python generated css. Run the following in one of the notebook cells:

%%html
<style>
.output_wrapper button.btn.btn-default,
.output_wrapper .ui-dialog-titlebar {
  display: none;
}
</style>

Unfortunately there's no good css selectors on the buttons, so I've tried to use as specific selector as possible, though this may end up disabling other buttons that you might generate in the output cell. Indeed, this approach affects all output cells in the notebook.
