To export a matplotlib plot as an iframe, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create your matplotlib plot as usual using the pyplot module.
  2. Save the plot as a static image file (e.g., PNG, JPEG) using the savefig() function.
  3. Upload the image file to a web server or hosting service.
  4. Retrieve the URL of the uploaded image file.
  5. Use the retrieved URL to create an iframe HTML element that displays the image on a web page.


Here is an example code snippet:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Create a sample matplotlib plot
plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 4, 9, 16])
plt.xlabel('X-axis')
plt.ylabel('Y-axis')
plt.title('Sample Plot')

# Save the plot as a PNG file
plt.savefig('sample_plot.png')

# Now, upload the sample_plot.png file to a web server and get the URL

# Set the URL of the uploaded image file
image_url = 'https://www.example.com/sample_plot.png'

# Create an iframe HTML element to display the image on a web page
iframe_html = f'<iframe src="{image_url}" width="400" height="300"></iframe>'

# Print the iframe HTML code
print(iframe_html)


You can copy and paste the generated iframe HTML code into an HTML file or a web page to display the matplotlib plot.
