Here is the error I am getting when I am using plot. imort cairo doesn't give any errors which means the library which igraph uses to plot is installed still it shows up error. Can anyone help me in resolving this issue.

  • Check this [accepted answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/12078393/5081426) – Nauman Naeem Sep 24 '19 at 10:48
  • But I am using Google colab so that issue should not be there no? – Himank Kansal Sep 24 '19 at 10:50
  • Please share a self-contained notebook that reproduces the problem you observe. (I suspect the issue is that this library assumes the presence of an X11 server, which doesn't exist in a web browser, so you'll want to use a different plotting engine like matplotlib that understands the IPython environment.) – Bob Smith Sep 25 '19 at 13:32
