I've found that while the examples provide for plotting interactively in a Jupyter notebook work (very well!), slight modifications cause it to not plot anything. The MVE is a print command immediately following the call to show, which causes there to be no plot. I would have expected this to work similarly to the base Plotter where plots can be generated in the middle of a cell and potentially many per cell. If this is a known bug/limitation/feature, perhaps it could be more clearly documented.
To Reproduce
import pyvista as pv
# create a mesh and identify some scalars you wish to plot
mesh = pv.Sphere()
z = mesh.points[:, 2]
# Plot using the ITKplotter
pl = pv.PlotterITK()
pl.add_mesh(mesh, scalars=z, smooth_shading=True)
pl.show(True) # works
```py
pl = pv.PlotterITK()
pl.add_mesh(mesh, scalars=z, smooth_shading=True)
pl.show(True) # Doesn't work
print("Showed a mesh")

This is using jupyterlab==2.2.9 and Microsoft Edge. I can try to test it on other browsers/OSs if there is interest.
This is a valid point! The arises from how we're returning a itkwidgets.widget_viewer.Viewer object, but we're not actively displaying it. By default, anything at the end of the cell that stands on its own and ipython/jupyterlab displays that. What I should have done when creating this module is simply called display from within the show method:
from IPython import display
import pyvista as pv
pl = pv.PlotterITK()
pl.add_mesh(pv.Sphere())
out = pl.show()
display.display_html(out)
print('weeeee')

As you can see here, it works in this context, and this necessitates an update to the PlotterITK class.
