How to run an animated plot inline with Jupyter Lab?

Running my animated plot in a jupyter notebook is OK. Now trying the same code in Jupyter Lab does not work. I've read a lot of similar situations, tried every solution given, but my plot stays static. No animation running.

This is my extension list, installed and enabled ('jupyter lab build'):

$ jupyter labextension list
JupyterLab v0.35.4
Known labextensions:
   app dir: /home/teleuff/anaconda3/share/jupyter/lab
        @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager v0.38.1  enabled  OK
        @jupyterlab/plotly-extension v1.0.0  enabled  OK
        jupyter-matplotlib v0.3.0  enabled  OK
        plotlywidget v1.1.0  enabled  OK

%matplotlib inline does not raise JavaScript error, but my plot is not animated.

%matplotlib widget and %pylab inline also have the same effect, only difference is the output line:

Populating the interactive namespace from numpy and matplotlib

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Find and click the little shield on the table frame at the bottom of the screen. Is this shield icon displaying a check mark inside the shield? Hover the mouse above the shield, does the shield then display a message:

{ Active Cell Trusted: x of y shields trusted }

It's likely there is no check mark inside the shield. The reason is the Jupyter extension is designed to be locked down.

Review the Jupyter-notebook security page: Jupyter-notebook

Overview from the security page:

  • Untrusted HTML is always sanitized
  • Untrusted JavaScript is never executed
  • Html and JavaScript in Markdown cells are never trusted
  • Outputs generated by the user are trusted
  • Any other HTML or JavaScript (in Markdown cells, output generated by owners) is never trusted

The bottom line and central question of trust is: Did the current user do this? I've found Jupyter Lab security settings make bullet-number 3 the overriding rule.
