Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's tutorial notebooks and comparing a notebook edit with the resulting git diff. Identify which generated plot outputs create unnecessary changes, then establish a way to keep diffs focused and verify that intended notebook edits remain visible.

Description

When we commit changes with some edits in the notebook, the notebooks tend to generate plots with unnecessary changes in the output, thus flooding the git diff. This makes it hard to review the changes we initially made.
