Matlab figures about python-matlab-bridge HOT 2 CLOSED

...btw, in case it wasn't clear: I want to create, save to file, and close the figures in the matlab call, and then render them in the notebook in a separate cell using ipython.display, matplotlib, markdown, or what have you. The latter is easy enough.

Hi John - thanks for writing in to ask about this. I think that this error
gets raised, because per-default the instance of Matlab that gets launched
is opened with the -nodisplay flag. When that input is not set, these
arguments are added to the call to Matlab from the command line:

https://github.com/arokem/python-matlab-bridge/blob/master/pymatbridge/pymatbridge.py#L112

So - you can experiment with passing a different set of startup options to
matlab.

Another route is to hack the part of the code that saves figures to files:

https://github.com/arokem/python-matlab-bridge/blob/master/pymatbridge/matlab/functions/make_figs.m

Or to try some of what's described in the SO post:

Though I am not so sure how Xvfb would fit in here.

Please do let me know if any of this is helpful for your issue.
