Generating a PNG with matplotlib when DISPLAY is undefined

I am trying to use networkx with Python. When I run this program it get this error. Is there anything missing?

#!/usr/bin/env python

import networkx as nx
i         


        

Answer 1

I will just repeat what @Ivo Bosticky said which can be overlooked. Put these lines at the VERY start of the py file.

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg') 

Or one would get error

*/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/matplotlib/__init__.py:923: UserWarning:  This call to   matplotlib.use() has no effect
because the the backend has already been chosen;
matplotlib.use() must be called *before* pylab, matplotlib.pyplot,*

This will resolve all Display issue
