The easiest way how to plot data?

[tesar-tech]

I am struggling with this simple task. How to create plot and show it in dotnet interactive.
I tried this with XPlot.Plotly:

#r "nuget: XPlot.Plotly.Interactive"
using XPlot.Plotly;
using XPlot.Plotly.Interactive;
var ch = Chart.Line(new[]{1,2,3,4});
ch

But it results in:

ch.Show();

opens html file with the plot, but I would like to keep as an output of cell.

XPlot.Plotly is not necessary to use. But based on my research it should be the easiest way..

What I am missing here?

I had this issue in the past and resolved it by adding #i "nuget:https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dnceng/public/_packaging/dotnet-tools/nuget/v3/index.json" above #r "nuget: XPlot.Plotly.Interactive".

Not sure if this should still be necessary. I found a reference to this issue which pointed me in the right direction.

Well, it works. But the notebook needs to be saved first. Thanks.

I might recommend using Plotly.NET instead.
