It is not necessary to do all this if you merely want to display a plot in a browser or use Matplotlib's built-in Tornado-based server "on the side". The framework being used must support web sockets. .. code-block:: default import io import json import mimetypes from pathlib import Path try: import tornado except ImportError as err: raise RuntimeError("This example requires tornado.") from err import tornado.web import tornado.httpserver import tornado.ioloop import tornado.websocket import matplotlib as mpl from matplotlib.backends.backend_webagg_core import ( FigureManagerWebAgg, new_figure_manager_given_figure) from matplotlib.figure import Figure import numpy as np def create_figure(): """ Creates a simple example figure.
