import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use('WebAgg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
mpl.rcParams['webagg.open_in_browser'] = False
fig, plot = plt.subplots(nrows=1)
plot.imshow(np.random.rand(224,224,3))
plt.show()Actual outcome
To view figure, visit http://127.0.0.1:8988
Press Ctrl+C to stop WebAgg server
Expected outcome
Hopefully something like
To view figure, visit http://[insert my server IP here]:8988
Press Ctrl+C to stop WebAgg server
Matplotlib version

- Matplotlib version: 2.0.2
- Matplotlib backend (
print(matplotlib.get_backend())): WebAgg - Python version: 3.6.1
- Jupyter version (if applicable):
- Other libraries:
Basically, it'd be nice to have control over what IP gets printed there, instead of hard coding localhost -- https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_webagg.py#L324 -- maybe add another key to rcParams? (and leave localhost as the default?)
