Another way is to add a directive to your .matplotlibrc. For me this
is located in:
~/.config/matplotlib/matplotlibrc
where I have added:
backend : Agg
and when I do have access to X and want plots to show up, I run ipython with
ipython --pylab=tk
or some other backend.
The advantage is that I don't need to put this directive in every
script (that may run in the background or on some sort of cluster) and
that I can still use those scripts for displaying my plots when
working interactively.
Gerrit.
