To use matplotlib in virtualenv on Ubuntu 14.04
make virtualenv
symlink as described here: http://www.stevenmaude.co.uk/posts/installing-matplotlib-in-virtualenv
ln -sf /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/{glib,gobject,cairo,gtk-2.0,pygtk.py,pygtk.pth} $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Then pip install matplot lib -- if you pip install before, the install won't detect necessary packages for the backends to install correctly
