             Summary: Create a custom matplotlib backend that natively supports 
inline plotting in a python interpreter cell
                 Key: ZEPPELIN-1345
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-1345
             Project: Zeppelin
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: python-interpreter
    Affects Versions: 0.7.0
            Reporter: Alex Goodman
            Assignee: Alex Goodman
             Fix For: 0.7.0


This is a sub-task for ZEPPELIN-1344. The deliverable will be a custom 
matplotlib backend which natively supports inline plotting in zeppelin notebook 
cells (for the python and eventually pyspark interpreters). More information 
regarding matplotlib backends can be found here:

http://matplotlib.org/faq/usage_faq.html#what-is-a-backend

The focus of this issue will be getting support for plotting just static images 
similar to those generated in a Jupyter notebook cell when {{%matplotlib 
inline}} is used. Getting support for more interactive plotting will also 
require a custom backend that will be based off of this one.
