## The goal
Python Interactive window allows you to interactively develop code with VS Code.
Questions to [David Rotermund](mailto:davrot@uni-bremen.de)
**Please use # %% with .py files instead of .ipynb Jupyter notebook files for interactive cells!!!**
If you don't know what I am talking about, please read: [Python Interactive window](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py)
## Interactive plotting in # %% cells
We can activate the interactive plotting mode via
```python
%matplotlib widget
```
The first time we use this command, vs code will need to download a plugin).
Here an example:
```python
%matplotlib widget
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
fig = plt.figure()
plt.plot(np.sin(np.linspace(0, 20, 100)))
```
Yes, mypy will give you an error and yes, you can not suppress it... but non you can zoom and pan the figure... You can not have everything at once!
### Modifing a plot
First we plot something but keep the handle:
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
fig = plt.figure()
line = plt.plot(np.sin(np.linspace(0, 20, 100)))
```
Then we can use to change the plot using the handle:
```python
line[0].remove()
line = plt.plot(np.sin(5.0*np.linspace(0, 20, 100)))
```
If you don't know the handle, you can retrieve it like this:
```python
handles = fig.gca().get_children()
print(handles)
```
```python
[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x7fe130f75310>, <matplotlib.spines.Spine object at 0x7fe130f1d710>, <matplotlib.spines.Spine object at 0x7fe130f1dcd0>, <matplotlib.spines.Spine object at 0x7fe130f1e210>, <matplotlib.spines.Spine object at 0x7fe130f1e750>, <matplotlib.axis.XAxis object at 0x7fe130f1ecd0>, <matplotlib.axis.YAxis object at 0x7fe1310b7350>, Text(0.5, 1.0, ''), Text(0.0, 1.0, ''), Text(1.0, 1.0, ''), <matplotlib.patches.Rectangle object at 0x7fe130f3cf10>]
```
This allows us to do this:
```python
fig.gca().get_children()[0].remove()
```
