Plotly error while plotting into ipywidget output on Databricks

[mk3]

Hello, while plotting into databricks notebook with plotly into ipywidget output, I am getting following error SyntaxError: expected expression, got ','. Here is my snippet.

import ipywidgets, random
import plotly.express as px
from plotly.offline import plot
from IPython.display import display, clear_output

out = ipywidgets.Output()
button = ipywidgets.Button(description = 'button')

def on_button_clicked(b):
    with out:
        clear_output(True)
        p = plot( px.scatter(x = [random.randint(1, 100) for i in range(4)], y = [random.randint(1, 100) for i in range(4)]), output_type='div')
        displayHTML(p)

button.on_click(on_button_clicked)
display(button)
out

Hi @mk3 , Instead of using interactive_output, consider directly displaying the Plotly figure as a widget. You can create a Plotly figure widget and update it dynamically based on widget interactions.

Hi, you are right. It seems that figurewidget is the only option, if we need to plot into ipywidgets.
