Alt For How do I construct a python function where the input in python code and output is ipython rich output (in HTML)?, based on making a importable python function¶

In [1]:

s = '''def my_plot_func():
    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
    plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
    plt.savefig('my_plot_via_func.png')'''
%store s >plot_func.py

Writing 's' (str) to file 'plot_func.py'.

In [2]:

cat plot_func.py

def my_plot_func():
    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
    plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
    plt.savefig('my_plot_via_func.png')

In [3]:

from plot_func import my_plot_func

In [4]:

my_plot_func();

In [5]:

from IPython.display import Image
Image("my_plot_via_func.png")
