A lot of graphics and plotting things don’t work in both the classic interface and JupyterLab. Usually the classic interface is more reliable for those types of visual output. Most strikingly are the animated plots, see [here](https://github.com/fomightez/animated_matplotlib-binder).

It is sort of something you have to learn to live with for now with as JupyterLab is relatively new and rapidly evolving. I often have to remind myself to try it in the classic notebook interface if I am in JupyterLab encounter a visual output not working. The good thing is you are working on MyBinder and can easily switch between interfaces at any time, see [here](https://mybinder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/user_interface.html#jupyterlab), or alternatively when you are already in JupyterLab, select `Help` \> `Launch Classic Notebook` from the main JupyterLab menu.
