Hi @ramit_goolry, following up on the feture request you created in [There is not history when logging wandb.plot.bar? - #6 by ramit\_goolry](https://community.wandb.ai/t/there-is-not-history-when-logging-wandb-plot-bar/3203/6). What is the best way to log plots with an iteration slider/history in December 2023? 🙂

Hi @demerzel ,

The current recommended approach is still the same, a user can log individual plots to plotly or to a wandb.Image to visualize the plots via a step slide. An example of this below

```auto
import wandb
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Initialize a new run
wandb.init(project="visualize-iterations")

# Example loop to simulate iterations
for step in range(10):
    # Create a plot for the current iteration
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    ax.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, step, step**2]) # Example data that changes with iteration
    ax.set_title(f"Iteration {step}")
    
    # Log the plot with the current step
    wandb.log({"plot": fig}, step=step)
    
    # Close the figure to prevent it from being displayed in the notebook
    plt.close(fig)

# Finish the run
wandb.finish()

```

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello! is there any update on this to create plots with sliders instead of matplotlib/plotly plots?
