title: mplleaflet in Jupyter - avoid whitespace with notebook mode?
body: <p>mplleaflet works great with '%matplotlib inline' mode in the Jupyter Notebook, but when enabling '%matplotilib notebook' mode, there's a big chunk of whitespace between the cell and the map. Can this be avoided?</p>
  
  <p>Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  import mplleaflet
  
  %matplotlib notebook
  
  #some latitudes bracketing seattle
  lats = [47.5062,47.7062]
  #longitude
  lons = [-122.3321]*len(lats)
  
  fig,ax=plt.subplots(figsize=(8,8))
  ax.scatter(lons, lats, alpha=0) #invisible data points, just to scale the map
  
  mplleaflet.display(fig=fig)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output looks like this:</p>
