Can’t really tell much more without more information, but some options to maybe get something to show up in that right column:
- add a call to the line magic
%matplotlib inline
somewhere at the top of each notebook that uses matplotlib - upgrade to the most recent IPython/ipykernel (
7.30.*
), which requiresmatplotlib-inline
and will obviate the need for it- this requires at least python 3.7, but python 3.6 is EOL now, so it’s a good time to upgrade… clear up to 3.9 if you can, 3.10 still seems to have a few remaining issues on windows.
That screenshot also identifies some of the challenges of stock lab at smaller resolution: it looks like you’re getting about 50% of your vertical screen taken up by toolbars, etc. If you can, using the browser’s Full Screen
setting will help a lot.
Further, regarding the visual clutter: in the View
menu, you may want to try turning off the status bar, and switching to Single Document Mode
. You can then still use the tabs
sidebar to switch between open files.
