Hi, I could make matplotlib work in Zeppelin with helper function
%pyspark import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import StringIO def show(p): img = StringIO.StringIO() p.savefig(img, format='svg') img.seek(0) print "%html <div style='width:600px'>" + img.buf + "</div>" Then it displays plot, like %pyspark show(plt) attaching a screenshot Thanks, moon On Tue, Jun 9, 2015 at 7:08 PM Wush Wu <w...@bridgewell.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > I am trying the materials of an online spark course in edX ( > https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-big-data-apache-spark-uc-berkeleyx-cs100-1x). > They use the ipython notebook to teach, and I want to test if zeppelin is > as good as ipython notebook when using pyspark. > > However, the matplotlib does not work so far.
