class MatplotlibBackend(backend, sloppy=True)[source]

The context manager has no effect when setting backend=None.

Parameters:
  • backend (str) – Name of matplotlib backend to switch to.
  • sloppy (bool) – If True, uses matplotlib.pyplot.switch_backend() and no warning will be shown if the backend was not switched successfully. If False, additionally tries to use matplotlib.use() first and also shows a warning if the backend was not switched successfully.
