When creating Deephaven plots in the IDE and Jupyter, plots require a .show() method to render. It is unclear why this is necessary, and we should evaluate whether we can eliminate this call altogether.
Steps to reproduce
In the IDE (or Jupyter, having started a server), run:
from deephaven import time_tablefrom deephaven.plot.figure import Figure
you will now see a rendered plot.
It would be good if this call were not required, as it is not required to make tables render and the interface for the two should not feel substantially different.

In the IDE (or Jupyter, having started a server), run:
from deephaven import time_tablefrom deephaven.plot.figure import Figurerealtime_table = time_table("00:00:00.25").update(["X = i", "Y = Math.sin(0.1 * i)"])realtime_plot = Figure().plot_xy(series_name="Sine Wave", t=realtime_table, x="X", y="Y")You will not see any plot render. If you change the last line to
realtime_plot = Figure().plot_xy(series_name="Sine Wave", t=realtime_table, x="X", y="Y").show()you will now see a rendered plot. It would be good if this call were not required, as it is not required to make tables render and the interface for the two should not feel substantially different.
