matplotlib Qt5Agg backend error: 'figure' is an unknown keyword argument

Question

I am running python 3.5, via an up-to-date anaconda distribution, on windows 7. When I use Qt5Agg as the matplotlib backend (set via my matplotlibrc file), I get the error in the subject line. It is very simple to reproduce:

Start python from a cmd.exe prompt
from pylab import *
figure(1)

Same problem in ipython.

Thoughts? Thanks.

I had the same issue. I found the solution here

Specifically, the following now works:

import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Qt4Agg') from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.figure(figsize=(12,8)) plt.title("Score") plt.show()
