Jupyter extension %matplotlib inline plot background issue

[mcdonoughj]

Issue: matplotlib plots rendered poorly when using "%matplotlib inline"

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes (have to enable python and Jupiter only in order to run), everything else disabled, same issue

• VS Code Version: 1.59
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. %matplotlib inline, plot background is full width (although saving the image to pdf is the correct size), the issue appears to be the way it is rendered in the notebook
2. Remove %matplotlib inline and call plt.show() to fix

Using %matplotlib inline

Using plt.show()

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• matplotlib is not working in vscode (#128526)

Thanks for the bug.

Likely a CSS problem that we're not handling when matplotlib inline is used.

Also, maybe the plot should be centered like it is done in jupyterlab?
