Is there a way to disable/hide matplotlib Toolbar that shows up on the bottom?
I'd tried something like this:
import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.rcParams['toolbar'] = 'None'
but unfortunately that didn't work.

Make sure to call mpl.rcParams['toolbar'] = 'None' before you instantiate any figures.

Doesn't work for the nbagg (
%matplotlib notebook) backend.

Is the toolbar the thing at the top of the figure window that has the zoom/pan buttons in it, or the display at the bottom of the figure window that displays x- and y-coordinates of the cursor? Is there a separate name for these display widgets?

@Taylor I found this block of CSS code in call before invoking the plot seemed to remove the toolbar when using the nbagg (
%matplotlib notebook) backend.If you are in Jupyter using %matplotlib widget (ipympl) you can do:
fig.canvas.toolbar_visible = False
You can also disable header and footer with:
fig.canvas.header_visible = False
fig.canvas.footer_visible = False

YESSSS this is what I needed
Alternatively, you can hide the toolbar:
QToolBar.hide()
or
QToolBar.setVisible(False)
Obviously this will only work with a Qt backend. To expand on this answer, given the figure fig:
First, if using Qt5:
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
Otherwise:
from PyQt4 import QtGui as QtWidgets
Then:
try:
win = fig.canvas.manager.window
except AttributeError:
win = fig.canvas.window()
toolbar = win.findChild(QtWidgets.QToolBar)
toolbar.setVisible(False)

you can go to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data ,
there you will see the file named matplotlibrc, open the file and
you will find a line like:
#toolbar : toolbar2# None | toolbar2 ("classic" is deprecated)
uncomment that line and place None after the colon like:
toolbar : None# None | toolbar2 ("classic" is deprecated) and save the file,
I guess after you can disable the toolbar in graphs plotted by matplotlib.
