Displaying lets_plot in vscode (no notebook)

[Rafael-Silva-Oliveira]

I'm trying to run a lets_plot example in vscode (no notebook), but I can't seem to put it to display the plot within vscode as I can do with other libraries (where it opens on a new tab in vscode).

Any solution to this without using notebooks (or inline approaches such as # %%)?

Please make sure

• IPython is installed in your env
• You invoke plot.show() method.

I'm not sure if VSCode does execute JS code we provide. Maybe not by default, maybe not at all. If so, try using "no JS" option:

LetsPlot.setup_html(no_js=True)

Hi @Rafael-Silva-Oliveira , have you succeeded in getting lets-plot charts displayed in vscode?

Hi @Rafael-Silva-Oliveira , In v4.3.0 we added setup_show_ext() which you can use instead of setup_html()to allow plots to be displayed in an external browser window.
