How to render plots in vscode/extra window?

[shiosai]

I guess its more a vscode/plotly than a vectorbt question. When I try to plot something e.g. from the interactive debug console (I like debugging) via pf["some_symbol"].plot() it will give out a lot of figure text like

FigureWidget({
    'data': [{'legendgroup': '0',
              'line': {'color': '#1f77b4'},
              'name': 'Close',
              'showlegend': True,
              'type': 'scatter
# and so on

Any idea how to (interactively) plot this in vscode browser or any other window? I am not interested to run it out of Jupyter or similar - I guess then it will run out of the box

It seems one way would be as follows (open plot in browser):

import plotly.io as pio
pio.renderers.default="browser"
pio.show(pf["some_symbol"].plot())

EDIT: Even easier
pf["some_symbol"].plot().show()
and you can specify the renderer directly in show:
pf["some_symbol"].plot().show("browser")

Haven't tried plotting anywhere outside of Jupyter and browser, but you can probably use the iframe renderer that bundles HTML and js together. Also plotly seems to have a vscode renderer?

Yeah - as for iframe and vscode they are both not working in debug mode (giving out syntax as well) but they might at other places. I edited my original comment - browser generally works good enough in this special case.
