How to run an animated plot inline with Jupyter Lab? - python-3.x

Running my animated plot in a jupyter notebook is OK. Now trying the same code in Jupyter Lab does not work. I've read a lot of similar situations, tried every solution given, but my plot stays static. No animation running.
This is my extension list, installed and enabled ('jupyter lab build'):
$ jupyter labextension list
JupyterLab v0.35.4
Known labextensions:
app dir: /home/teleuff/anaconda3/share/jupyter/lab
#jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager v0.38.1 enabled OK
#jupyterlab/plotly-extension v1.0.0 enabled OK
jupyter-matplotlib v0.3.0 enabled OK
plotlywidget v1.1.0 enabled OK
%matplotlib inline does not raise JavaScript error, but my plot is not animated.
%matplotlib widget and %pylab inline also have the same effect, only difference is the output line:
Populating the interactive namespace from numpy and matplotlib
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Find and click the little shield on the table frame at the bottom of the screen. Is this shield icon displaying a check mark inside the shield? Hover the mouse above the shield, does the shield then display a message:
{ Active Cell Trusted: x of y shields trusted }
It's likely there is no check mark inside the shield. The reason is the Jupyter extension is designed to be locked down.
Review the Jupyter-notebook security page: Jupyter-notebook
Overview from the security page:
Untrusted HTML is always sanitized
Untrusted JavaScript is never executed
Html and JavaScript in Markdown cells are never trusted
Outputs generated by the user are trusted
Any other HTML or JavaScript (in Markdown cells, output generated by owners) is never trusted
The bottom line and central question of trust is: Did the current user do this? I've found Jupyter Lab security settings make bullet-number 3 the overriding rule.

Displaying a Classification Banner at the top of each computer monitor in Gnome Desktop

I work in an environment where we have to have a security classification banner displayed at the top of each monitor on our Gnome Desktops. Currently, I am using a Perl/Tk window to display the classification of the system. However, that window cannot be moved because of the way it is built (no decorations) and occasionally overlays open windows making it difficult for users to manage those windows.
I would like to be able to do something different, but I'm not sure where to start. Three ideas I have are this:
An icon or something in the Top Bar showing the classification
A banner, like the Top Bar, that sits above the Top Bar
A window, like I already have, but relocatable
I figure the first option would be easiest, but since the Top Bar isn't shown on every monitor, that may not be the best option. I don't even know if the second option is even possible. The third option would require me to use something other than Perl/Tk but that's the only language I'm fluent in at the moment.
So I'm looking for suggestions or examples or Gnome extensions I can use to solve this problem.
Thanks.
There is a classification-banner python utility at https://github.com/fcaviggia/classification-banner. It's no longer maintained, but we've been using it without change for a few years now. It's OK. One problem is that it doesn't "shrink" the desktop screen, so application windows can overlap it; it's set to Always On Top, but it would be nicer if it actually couldn't be overlaid at all.
A simple solution, of sorts, would be to change the desktop background image. This can have issues if you're displaying on multiple resolutions (I don't know if Gnome supports SVG for such purposes) and of course it can be obscured by windows covering it.
Older versions of Gnome let you create multiple bars that worked perfectly, but that disappeared - along with many other customizations - in Gnome 3.

How do I get the jupyter notebook displays embed to QT?

I want the display graph by jupyter notebook embed to my pyqt app
It seems it's using the function by Ipython display
and may need HTML support
so, is there any way that I can embed these displays to qt, or even a pop out window that can control by qt?
I tried the jupyter console, but I think that's not what I want

Figure settings in Interactive Navigation window

I assume it should be possible to change the figure setting after plotting (not in the code).
By default, the Interactive Navigation has these buttons as explained in below link: https://matplotlib.org/users/navigation_toolbar.html?highlight=interactive%20navigation
However, it is not possible to change graph settings through any of these buttons (e.g. change axis limitations, or change label name, or change title). These options are available in MATLAB so it definitely should be there in Python3. How can I add these features to Interactive Navigation window?
P.S. My matplotlib version is 3.1.0
"These options are available in MATLAB so it definitely should be there in Python3" There is no indication for that causality being true.
Setting some of the parameters is nonetheless possible when using the Qt backend.
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("Qt5Agg")
Then a respective button is available

set window icon tkinter macosx

This line works fine for my Windows program.
When i run this same file on the Mac OS X, I get a blank page instead of my icon.
Here is the windows line:
self.iconbitmap("Boss.ico")
I have searched relentlusly for an answer I want this icon to work on both platforms. self is the root Tk window if your wondering if it's root or not.
Note: I have tried using icns, .xbm , .gif by loading a photo image and setting thru window attributes all produce the same blank page on the mac.
After 5 days of searching, and this post having been viewed at least 15 times I went directly to the tk/tcl documentation. If I understand this correctly, apparently there is no way to properly set the icon for mac OS X without using special library or other sort of hacks. It would be nice if there were a mac specific documentation for the tkinter library but alas there isn't that I have found. here is the part of the documentation I found:
wm iconphoto window ?-default? image1 ?image2 ...? Sets the titlebar
icon for window based on the named photo images. If -default is
specified, this is applied to all future created toplevels as well.
The data in the images is taken as a snapshot at the time of
invocation. If the images are later changed, this is not reflected to
the titlebar icons. Multiple images are accepted to allow different
images sizes (e.g., 16x16 and 32x32) to be provided. The window
manager may scale provided icons to an appropriate size. On Windows,
the images are packed into a Windows icon structure. This will
override an ico specified to wm iconbitmap, and vice versa.
On X, the images are arranged into the _NET_WM_ICON X property, which
most modern window managers support. A wm iconbitmap may exist
simultaneously. It is recommended to use not more than 2 icons,
placing the larger icon first.
On Macintosh, this currently does nothing.
if anyone has a working solution please post this. I want to accomplish this so that any system can open a freshly installed python and run my application without installing any additional library.
#GarryHurst This is not a solution but I sort of get the idea now:
On Mac, TK decided that the icon will never appear on the window title bar.
Instead, it shows up as the app's Dock icon.
It's most probably a by-design or won't fix issue on their side.
It is showing the icon of the file you are putting in the directory so setting the file to be an app will set the window icon to be the icon of that app.
for example:
root.iconbitmap("/Users/homedir./Desktop/Test apps/Clicker.app")
tk window with icon
I have a coup. Why not change mind, like this.
The emoji library is enough to choose a good-looking icon.
We can do that.:-D

Matlab linux GUI glitches

I've been having this problem with the Matlab GUI (linux) that has been annoying me for over a year but I still haven't found a solution.
Basically, the autofix hints are not displayed. When I move the mouse cursor over a potential warning/suggestion, a gray-background pop-up appears but the text inside is missing. The same happens when I hover over those little warning bars on the right hand side of the editor. Does anyone have any clue what might be causing this?

This happens only on my linux machine (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, NVidia GeForce with nvidia driver).
Thanks!
For those interested, this issue appears to be related to the Unity Desktop. Mathworks does not provide a fix but suggests using a different XServer instead. Here is the answer I received from support:
This issue is known to occur due to a windowing system used with
"linux" on which MATLAB has not been tested. It has been observed that
if you are using "Unity desktop" in "linux", then the tooltips are
displayed as blanks.
To work around this issue, you may try switching off "Unity desktop".
You can refer to the following links for more information on this
issue:
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/116987-empty-tooltips-in-code-analyzer
matlab code analyzer produces empty tooltips
Indeed, I tried lubuntu and XUbuntu (Xfce) and the tooltips in Matlab were working in both cases. I find Unity very handy because I got used to it, so for now, I will probably simply not use this Matlab feature. Hopefully this will be fixed eventually.
It's an old post but some people may be still looking for a solution or a hack. Well, I also had this issue on R2015a when using two monitors and hiding Ubuntu 14.04 sidebar seems to do the trick. This link explains how to do it: http://www.howtogeek.com/198218/how-to-easily-hide-the-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-14.04/. Hope it helps!
This is accomplished, in the article, by:-
1) Select “System Settings” from the drop-down menu.
2) The “System Settings” dialog box displays. In the “Personal”
section, click “Appearance.”
3) On the “Appearance” screen, click the “Behavior” tab.
4) On the right side of the “Behavior” tab, there’s an ON/OFF switch.
Click the switch so it reads ON.
5) The ON/OFF switch also turns orange. Additional options for how to
show the hidden Unity Launcher become available in the “Auto-hide the
Launcher” section of the “Behavior” tab. Under “Reveal location,”
select whether you want to move the mouse to any location on the “Left
side” or just to the “Top left corner” of the screen to reveal the
Unity Launcher. Use the “Reveal sensitivity” slider to change the
sensitivity of the reveal location.
6) Once you have chosen your settings, close the “Settings” dialog box
by clicking the “X” button in the upper-left corner of the dialog box.
This happens to me in Ubuntu 15.10 using xfce, with two monitors connected to an Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT, one of which is rotated to portrait orientation. The "workaround", from the page Anton linked, is to resize my matlab desktop such that the red underlined text or red scrollbar annotation is in the bottom third of my left monitor. Unbelievable.
My preferred workaround is to use Python+Scipy+Matplotlib instead of Matlab.
