Ryan,
Thanks again. I have the permissions, I'll reinstall.

John,

It's been a little while since I installed QGIS on my machine, but I wonder if you missed a selection somewhere in the installation process. Can you reinstall QGIS? (i.e. do you have admin permissions?) There might be a number of selections you can make when installing, and my guess is that you missed a selection to have the proper Python libraries installed. Maybe there is a "Full" installation option, which puts everything on your machine. As I said on my installation of QGIS, that code works just fine, and I'm certain that I haven't done anything special post-install.

    Ryan,
    I used the first line of your example and this was the result:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
      File "C:/OSGEO4~1/apps/qgis/./python\qgis\utils.py", line 454,
    in _import
        mod = _builtin_import(name, globals, locals, fromlist, level)
    ImportError: No module named matplotlib.pyplot

    I'm not sure what the first command is to confirm whether a module
    is installed or not, but it looks like I may need that.
    Thanks, Ben and Ryan.

    John,

    As Ben said, the QGIS Windows installer comes with its own Python
    installation, which doesn't know anything about any other Python
    install. Unfortunately, this apparently makes it rather difficult
    to install other packages. However, QGIS Python already contains
    Numpy and Matplotlib and PyQt4, which is what you need here. From
    the Plugins dropdown menu, select Python Console. In the console
    that opens at the bottom of the screen, you should be able to
    type (don't type the > characters):
    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> plt.plot([1,2,3])
    >>> plt.show()

    On my install of QGIS, that opens a pop-up window with a plot of
    those data points. Does this throw an error for you too?

        Users,
        I am working on Windows 7 with QGIS 2.4. I am trying to get a
        plugin
        installed in QGIS called Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin
        to work.
        The plugin is demonstrated here:
        
http://fromgistors.blogspot.com/2013/07/working-with-multispectral-bands-in-qgis.html

        The first time I tried to install the QGIS plugin, I got an error
        message that backend_qt4agg was not installed. I installed
        Python(x,y)
        with Python 2.x, because it seemed like the easiest way to get
        matplotlib and a bunch of other apps/extensions installed at
        the same
        time with minimal effort. I am not a programmer and I'm not
        familiar
        with installing things from source and then configuring
        settings. After
        the Python(x,y) install, I went to QGIS and started again and
        tried to
        install the plugin. I got the same error message. Please tell
        me what I
        need to do to get this backend installed in order to get the
        QGIS plugin
        I want.
