I'm on a windows machine, trying to run a python program on my lab's server, and would like to be able to see the output plots it produces. Here is what I type to try:
ssh –X user@server
python
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use(‘WX’)
import matplotlib.pyplot as mp
mp.figure()
The figure doesn't show up, and I get this error:
"Unable to access the X Display, is $DISPLAY set properly?"
Does anyone know how to make this work, or if it's even possible on a windows machine? Otherwise, any recommendations on how to get a look at the output data? I feel like this should be a very basic functionality, but I haven't found any solutions online yet and no one else in my lab uses windows.
Cygwin-X -> XWin Server
that you need to run first...
