Comment(by drkirkby):
I stumbled across this 'SAGE_MATPLOTLIB_GUI' in one of the patches for
matplotlib.
{{{
#####################################################################
# Sage code -- all this code just sets the graphical_backend variable.
# If True, that means we try to build GUI's; otherwise, we definitely
# will not even try, even if we could. See trac #5301.
#####################################################################
if os.environ.has_key('SAGE_MATPLOTLIB_GUI'):
if os.environ['SAGE_MATPLOTLIB_GUI'].lower() == 'no':
graphical_backend = False
else:
graphical_backend = True
else:
graphical_backend = False
print "NOTE: Set SAGE_MATPLOTLIB_GUI to anything but 'no' to try to build
the Matplotlib GUI."
if graphical_backend:
print "Building graphical backends. WARNING: This may causing some
annoying and confusing behavior"
print "when using Sage + pylab, at least on OS X."
else:
print "Not building any matplotlib graphical backends."
