Matplotlib: display plot on a remote machine

Question

I have a python code doing some calculation on a remote machine, named A. I connect on A via ssh from a machine named B. Is there a way to display the figure on

Answer 1

GTK seems impossible to get working on Ubuntu with Python3. Instead, I used tkagg (from this answer):

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('tkagg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Test that it's working with this:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('tkagg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
plt.show()
