Hi everyone,

I am trying to plot using matplotlib. But I am getting the below error.

UserWarning: Matplotlib is currently using agg, which is a non-GUI backend, so cannot show the figure.

How can I solve this?

Thank You

Hi@akhtar,

You need to install a GUI toolkit, so that Matplotlib can display graphics (outside of Jupyter, where the browser handles display). For example, if you install the pyqt package then PyPlot should automatically use the qt5agg backend.

$ pip3 install PyQt5==5.9.2

Hope this will work.

Read the Artificial Intelligence tutorial to learn more about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Also, enrol in Machine Learning Course to become proficient.


Thank You
