Dear All,
I am trying to use plotly (iplot) to create figures offline. Unfortunately, I could not get offline plots to display, instead I get the external temporary file. For example, when I run this script,
from plotly import **version**
from plotly.offline import download\_plotlyjs, init\_notebook\_mode, plot, iplot
print **version**
init\_notebook\_mode(connected=True)
iplot([{“x”: [1, 2, 3], “y”: [3, 1, 6]}])
I am only getting this output.
1.12.12
\
\
How can I resolve this problem?
Best

Hi gkirlik, what are you running your script with?
I just copy pasted your code in an IPython notebook, works perfectly (though my Plot.ly version is higher…)
