Attached a patch to display warning when user calls show() with non-GUI backend. This addresses Joerg's difficulty -- that it's hard to know what's wrong when matplotlib is mis-configured to not show a window.
This patch can be considered optional. The real bug here is that matplotlib is misconfigured to use a non-GUI backend as the default. ** Attachment added: "Patch to display warning when non-GUI backend is selected and user calls show()" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18322977/backends.__init__.py.patch -- [intrepid] No output in ipython because because of wrong default backend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
