Matplotlib Backends

Matplotlib is a plotting library. It relies on some backend to actually render the plots. The default backend is the agg backend. This backend only renders PNGs. On Jupyter notebooks the matplotlib backends are special as they are rendered to the browser. Generally you will not need to explicitly set the backend on a Jupyter notebook. This does introduce a discrepancy between code that runs in Jupyter and code that runs as a script natively in the Python interpreter. So you need to understand that the 2 environments are not the same
