Matplotlib widget in VSCode Remote Session

[oravus]

Hi all, the following might be relevant for someone trying to use matplotlib widget through VSCode's remote-ssh connection:

Include ForwardX11 yes in your ssh config as below:

Host <host>
  HostName <hostname>
  User <username>
  ForwardX11 yes

reconnected remote and tested as below:

%matplotlib widget

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

plt.imshow(np.ones([10,10]))
plt.show()
