Hi peers, please help to review my code as written above.
I know that for interactive figure, we should not use %matplotlib inline for this project. However, if i used %matplotlib notebook, both the figures ( 2D and 3D) are not showing in jupyter notebook.
I have search online for the problem and they are many others having the same issue.
I have tried all the possible matter i have learned through Google but it looks like not worked for me.

anybody could solve my problem of not showing figure in jupyter with %matplotlib notebook ?

You need to use the z parameter for your z axis on your 3-d plot. Hint: ax_3d

See:

noted. thanks for your kind feedback. But my issue of figure not showing up in jupyter noteook if using %matplotlib notebook hasn’t solved yet.

There’s an error somewhere. What is the above referring to? x2, y2, z2 are not defined.

You will also need to import %matplotlib notebook (from the instructions)
