Hide matplotlib descriptions in jupyter notebook [duplicate]

Question

I am not sure what is the correct term for this, but here is what I see when I plot something:

The plots is actually what I want so see, but jupyter notebook also outputs some text: <matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x1263354d0>, <matplotlib.figure.Figure at 0x1263353d0> which I am trying to get rid of.

After some searching, the only thing I was able to find is plt.ioff(), which didn't help me. Is there a way to get rid of the text?

Answer 1

You can finish the corresponding (matplotlib) line with a semicolon ;

Answer 2

This is a bit of a workaround, but it should work consistently:

1. Assign the plotting function to a variable (which could also be useful if you need to access some plot elements later on)

plt.figure(figsize=(3, 3))  plot = plt.plot(range(10),                 [x*x for x in range(10)],                 'o-') 

2. Add a "pass" at the bottom of the cell (or an equivalent operation with no consequence)

plt.figure(figsize=(3, 3))  plt.plot(range(10),          [x*x for x in range(10)],          'o-') pass 

3. Add a semicolon at the end of the last statement

plt.figure(figsize=(3, 3))  plt.plot(range(10),          [x*x for x in range(10)],          'o-');
