The use of `returnfig=True` creates multiple figures when using ipywidgets

Open thinkrapido opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug If you provide returnfig=True or use your own axes, updating the ipywidgets produces additional plots.

To Reproduce this example uses 15 min klines, but that doesn't matter.

@interact(
        start_pos = widgets.FloatSlider(value=0, max=len(df.index) - 1 - 7 * 96, min=0, step=1),
        length    = widgets.FloatSlider(value=7 * 96, max=7 * 96, min=96, step=96),
        
        )
def plot_func(start_pos, length):
    start_pos, length = int(start_pos), int(length)
    ldf = df.iloc[start_pos:start_pos + length]
    print(ldf.index[0], ' - ', ldf.index[-1])
    mpf.plot(ldf, style='yahoo', figsize=(20,5), returnfig=True)
    #print([ str(ax) for ax in axlist])

Expected behavior When using ipywidgets and updateing the slider, the reloading of the plot_func produces an additional figure each time you update the widget. This shouldn't be. When your don't use returnfig (or don't add ax and volume by your own figure) this behaviour does not accure.
