python - Plotly chart not showing in Jupyter notebook

Question

I have been trying to solve this issue for hours. I followed the steps on the Plotly website and the chart still doesn't show in the notebook.

This is my code for the plot:

colorway = ['#f3cec9', '#e7a4b6', '#cd7eaf', '#a262a9', '#6f4d96', '#3d3b72', '#182844']

data = [
    go.Scatter(
        x = immigration.columns,
        y = immigration.loc[state],
                   name=state) for state in immigration.index]

layout = go.Layout(
    title='Immigration',
    yaxis=dict(title='Immigration %'),
    xaxis=dict(title='Years'),
    colorway=colorway,
    font=dict(family='Courier New, monospace', size=18, color='#7f7f7f')
)

fig = go.Figure(data=data, layout=layout)
iplot(fig)

And this is everything I have imported into my notebook:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import plotly.plotly as py
import plotly.graph_objs as go
from plotly.offline import init_notebook_mode, iplot

init_notebook_mode(connected=True)

You cannot create multiple traces in that way, for loop did not work in that case. If you have not so much state, try to create each trace for each state. Just as showed here. And change each y to name of state. Then create list of traces and named it data as at example. — Dmitriy Kisil
@Oysiyl thanks, but that actually doesn't asnwer my question. The plot is showing, but in a separate tab. What I would like to do is to be able to see it in my notebook not in a separate tab. — Liz

You need to change init_notebook_mode call, if you want to work in offline mode.

Such that:

# Import the necessaries libraries
import plotly.offline as pyo
import plotly.graph_objs as go
# Set notebook mode to work in offline
pyo.init_notebook_mode()
# Create traces
trace0 = go.Scatter(
    x=[1, 2, 3, 4],
    y=[10, 15, 13, 17]
)
trace1 = go.Scatter(
    x=[1, 2, 3, 4],
    y=[16, 5, 11, 9]
)
# Fill out data with our traces
data = [trace0, trace1]
# Plot it and save as basic-line.html
pyo.iplot(data, filename = 'basic-line')

Output should be shown in your jupyter notebook:
