Why Does This D3 Code Not Produce Any Output In Jupyter Notebook?

I followed this blog here and here's the code that I'm trying to run on my Jupyter Notebook - essentially a simple scatter plot from the iris dataset. from IPython.core.display im

Solution 1:

I have just tried and figured out the problem.

If you look at the console log, the browser do not interpret d3. To solve it add to your code.

<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

You will now see your nice plot

Here an exemple of update
