Hello,
I want to run a python program on a remote machine via ssh. It generates figures and saves them to files. I don't need/want to see the figures as they are being generated and saved.
When I do this on the remote machine (which is running linux) I get a display error
_tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
Is there a way to disable drawing on the device and just have 'virtual' drawing to a file?
thanks!

Try using the agg backend

Which you can do by either:
* changing the default backend in .matplotlibrc
or
* Putting:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("Agg")
at the top of your script, BEFORE any mpl calls, including "import pylab", if indeed you import pylab at all.
