Research direction

Start by reviewing the tutorial notebooks for backend usage and reproduce the reported display error in Jupyter. Compare the current backend setup with the suggested inline configuration and confirm which notebook changes are needed. Done means the affected notebooks display graphs without the reported JavaScript error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Backend is no longer necessary IMO. Using a backend results in the following error on Jupyter.

Javascript Error: IPython is not defined

Also adding %matplotlib inline before importing matplotlib resolves the displaying of graphs.

Should I fix them in the notebooks and send a PR?

Thanks.
