It is not clear to me that 4202 would fix it, and I think 4202 has a basic problem of its own. John, if you haven't already done so, please escalate this to a github issue. Eric On 2015/07/15 4:58 AM, Thomas Caswell wrote: The PR to fix this is still open

[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib 1.4.3 Agg problem

2015-07-15 Thread John Coppens

2015-07-15 Thread Thomas Caswell
The Agg backend is a non-gui backend, it just saves to file. The `TkAgg` and `GtkAgg` are gui backends (which are more of front ends, but I digress) which show the output of Agg in a gui window (and provide a layer for handling user interaction). I suspect that how ever your 1.3.1 was installed
