How can I use matplotlib.pyplot in a docker container?

I have a certain setting of Python in an docker image named deep. I used to run python code

Interestingly, I found quite nice and thorough solutions in ROS community. http://wiki.ros.org/docker/Tutorials/GUI

For my problem, my final choice is the second way in the tutorial:

docker run --rm -it \
   --user=$(id -u) \
   --env="DISPLAY" \
   --workdir=/app \
   --volume="$PWD":/app \
   --volume="/etc/group:/etc/group:ro" \
   --volume="/etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro" \
   --volume="/etc/shadow:/etc/shadow:ro" \
   --volume="/etc/sudoers.d:/etc/sudoers.d:ro" \
   --volume="/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" \
