ipython notebook --pylab inline: zooming of a plot

Question

Is it possible to zoom into a plot if inline is activated? Especially regarding to 3d-plots rotating and zooming is a necessary feature.

Accepted Answer

Now thanks to mpld3 it's super easy to enable zooming in inline plots!

All you have to do is install mpld3 (`pip install mpld3`), and then add this to your notebook:

```
%matplotlib inline
import mpld3
mpld3.enable_notebook()
```

Now your plots will get a toolbar menu at the bottom left, in which you can enable mouse zooming :)
