Some Tests on Matplotlib Backends

Matplotlib provides many different backends

Among the many matplotlib backends, what I found is that TkAgg and WebAgg works well on a mac.

Backends could either be set in your bashrc/zshrc files using

MPLBACKEND =

or a file located at ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc using

backend =

A very useful customized backend is itermplot which displays plot result right in your iterm.
