I'm plotting a graph to observe the gaussian distribution.

Code:

import random
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  

nums = []  
mu = 100
sigma = 50

for i in range(100):  
    temp = random.gauss(mu, sigma) 
    nums.append(temp)  

plt.plot(nums)  
plt.show()

but when I run it, error comes with:

  • Try `plt.savefig('gauss.png')` to save figure. Or, to display try `export DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY` in a shell. – Parth Shah Jul 25 '20 at 07:49

    if you want to display your figure interactively, you can also try to use ``import matplotlib``, then ``matplotlib.use("Qt5Agg")`` or ``matplotlib.use("GTK3Agg")`` **before** importing ``pyplot``, since the error message may come from a configuration error that is Tk specific. – Silmathoron Jul 25 '20 at 09:33
  • Thank you! used `import matplotlib` `matplotlib.use("Qt5Agg")` and it worked! I really appreciate it. – Pablo Escobar Jul 25 '20 at 19:26
