Hi,
I am trying to use matplotlib non-interactively but if I don't have
DISPLAY set then wx barfs even though I have tried forcing the backend,
etc..

eg..
[midget 16:51] ~/projects/beermon >python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Aug 14 2007, 11:27:14)
[GCC 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305] on freebsd6
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pylab, matplotlib
matplotlib.use>>> matplotlib.use('agg')
>>> fig = pylab.figure()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py", line 859, 
in figure
    figManager = new_figure_manager(num, figsize=figsize, dpi=dpi, 
facecolor=facecolor, edgecolor=edgecolor, frameon=frameon, 
FigureClass=FigureClass, **kwargs)
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_wxagg.py", 
line 134, in new_figure_manager
    backend_wx.wxapp = wx.PySimpleApp()
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 
7791, in __init__
    wx.App.__init__(self, redirect, filename, useBestVisual, clearSigInt)
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 
7700, in __init__
    self._BootstrapApp()
  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 
7352, in _BootstrapApp
    return _core_.PyApp__BootstrapApp(*args, **kwargs)
SystemError: wxEntryStart failed, unable to initialize wxWidgets!  (Is DISPLAY 
set properly?)

Same problem if I try Cairo.
I had a google but no luck, can anyone help me out?

Thanks.
