To insert a mpld3 chart in a view proceed as follows: #. You should inherit from abstract class abstract.mpld3.parser:: _name = 'res.partner' _inherit = ['res.partner', 'abstract.mpld3.parser'] #. Import the required libraries:: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt #. Declare a json computed field like this:: mpld3_chart = fields.Json( string='Mpld3 Chart', compute='_compute_mpld3_chart', ) #. In its computed method do:: def _compute_mpld3_chart(self): for rec in self: # Design your mpld3 figure: plt.scatter([1, 10], [5, 9]) figure = plt.figure() rec.mpld3_chart = self.convert_figure_to_json(figure) #. In the view, add something like this wherever you want to display your mpld3 chart::
