title: How can I make a matplotlib plot in Google Colab interactive
body: <p>I am using python and matplotlib and I am trying to create an interactive plot in Google Colab. I can produce the plot but it is static. My current code is below:</p>
  <pre><code>%matplotlib notebook
  %config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'
  from __future__ import print_function, division
  import sys
  import numpy as np
  import astropy.units as u
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  import os
  %matplotlib inline
  import json
  import glob
  import shutil
  import math
  from mpl_toolkits import mplot3d
  </code></pre>
  <pre><code>fig = plt.figure(figsize=(15, 15))
  ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
  
  p_r = 299.9032078
  p_de = 20.80420061
  p_di = 1.5
  
  ax.scatter(p_di,p_r,p_de, s=200, color='b',marker='o')
  
  sta_r = [297.9021920849609,295.904451838485,295.9023343973089,297.90309565270053,296.90333856407784]
  sta_de = [20.844424295419174,20.81360810319505,20.723442484679984,20.824023603726815,20.70437024345076]
  sta_pa = [-0.5158962093235283,0.7968902494174,0.5119758027825232,-0.6155926470014295,1.2453997167305746]
  sta_di = [1/sp for sp in sta_pa]
  
  ax.scatter(sta_di,sta_r,sta_de, s=200, color='darkorange',marker='o')
  
  plt.show()
