And
matplotlib.use('Agg')
Would only work before matplotlib is first used so you would need to restart
the interpreter. From error stack below it looks like something might be
setting the default backend in matplotlib to TkAgg though.
Are you using the Python interpreter or PySpark interpreter? Also how you are
calling matplotlib like Moon asks?

Hi,
Thanks for sharing the problem.
Could you share which version of Zeppelin are you using and how did you try
matplotlib inside of Zeppelin? Are you trying matplotlib with z.show() ?
Thanks,
moon

Hi,
I want to build a Zeppelin docker image for my self. The docker image is based
on ubuntu:wily, and has openjdk-8-jre and python3 installed. I also installed
other packages that I need.
After started Zeppelin in the docker, I am able to access the webapp from my
local browser. I tried to execute some simple Python script, and it works fine.
But when I try to run the matplotlib example, I got error saying that tkinter
cannot find the $DISPLAY.

Some people on the Internet suggested adding matplotlib.use('Agg') at the
beginning of the notebook, but it still does not work for me.
