Hello, as mentioned in the FiPy FAQ, a different Matplotlib backend has to be used when exporting images from the MatplotlibViewer class without any output to the screen.
From the Matplotlib documentation (at https://matplotlib.org/tutorials/introductory/usage.html#what-is-a-backend), there are three ways to select a backend. The first two would involve setting it in a .matplotlibrc file or as an environment variable. However, that would affect all scripts run in that particular environment, which I do not want to do. The third approach is setting matplotlib.use('backend'). How can I select a Matplotlib backend for a certain MatplotlibViewer without affecting any other scripts run from my environment? Thank you!
