xplot not displaying any graph after a new installation

[faysou]

No plot is displayed after installing xplot and bqplot. Only a blank graph is displayed.

I have the same problem using a fresh install of miniconda3 + xeus-cling + xplot + jupyter from conda-forge on a Ubuntu 18.04 machine.

All example notebooks run but output figures are empty, except one that is working : xmap.ipynb

You can see this in the binder as well where the plots are sometimes blank and they don't have a legends, ticks, grids...etc

I was having this same problem and managed to solve it by downgrading bqplot:

conda install bqplot=0.11.5 -c conda-forge
jupyter labextension install bqplot@0.4.5

Also, I could only make it run in notebook (http://127.0.0.1:8888/tree)
not jupyterlab (http://127.0.0.1:8888/lab)

I once managed to make it work by downgrading as well, but it didn't work on another system, it's not a reliable solution.

It would be good if somebody in charge of this package could have a look at this issue, as this package could be very useful but can't be used at the moment.

Hello everyone,

I have updated the readme to reflect the front-end requirement (bqplot npm package ^0.4.3, i.e. bqplot pypi package^ 0.11.4).
