Research direction

Start by reproducing the interaction between %matplotlib widget and IPython.display.set_matplotlib_formats('png', 'pdf'), then inspect how the widget integration serializes figures into notebook JSON. Done means a widget-backed plot preserves both the PNG and PDF representations when those formats are requested.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Normally, you can use the following lines of code, to force Jupyter to store an additional pdf version of each plot in the notebook json.

from IPython.display import set_matplotlib_formats
set_matplotlib_formats('png', 'pdf')

However, when calling %matplotlib widget before, only the png version of the image ist stored
