That makes sense. The agg backend is a non graphical backend intended for
saving image output. I don't know why this is the default one on your
system.

if you start your python session with:
```
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('TkAgg')
...
```

You will select the TkAgg backend which is interactive and normally
installed. I don't know which ones are available on your system but see the
link below for various possibilities that you may try instead. This also
contains information about how the backends are set.

Note that the MPLBACKEND environmental variable was not added until
matplotlib 1.5

Are you logged in on another machine? If so, you might be connected via the
'ssh' command and not 'ssh -X'.

Can you try to check which backend you are using
Do something like
>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.get_backend()

after your plot. It is possible that your machine is set to use a non
graphical backend

Here's some output from an ssh -Y to another machine - I also get the same
result working on the console (no plots appearing).

Python 2.6.9 (unknown, Apr  7 2015, 08:28:12)

Sorry but the parentheses have not gone missing in your copy paste. The
line below will only be printed if you don't have any parentheses after the
function. Can you try again and show the output of actually calling
plt.show()?

Apologies, the parentheses must have got missed off when I copied and
pasted the output from my terminal.

Same issue though, I don't get any plots come up. This always used to work,
and works for my colleagues!

You're missing a pair of parentheses. Without it, you're just referring to
the function itself.

plt.show is a function. You are not calling it just displaying it. Try
doing plt.show()

BTW please use the new mailing list at mat...@py...

Hi guys,

If I do the following, no plot shows:

ply5@xroa-dt-20:~> python

Python 2.6.9 (unknown, Apr  7 2015, 08:28:12)

[GCC 4.3.4 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973]] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import pylab as plt

>>> plt.figure()

<matplotlib.figure.Figure object at 0x16e5310>

>>> plt.hist([1.0,2,0])

(array([ 1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  1.]), array([ 0. ,
0.2,  0.4,  0.6,  0.8,  1. ,  1.2,  1.4,  1.6,  1.8,  2. ]), <a list of 10
Patch objects>)

>>> plt.show

<function show at 0x1730b90>

>>>

I'm using SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 64-bit with python-matplotlib
v1.3.1-70.11.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm a bit of a matplotlib beginner so any advice is
extremely welcome!

Thanks,

Paul
