I am having trouble plotting in iPython I do not know what backend to set

Question

I'm not getting a plot when I use iPython. My matplotlibrc is set to, backend : agg. I found an answer: matplotlib does not show my drawings although I call pyplot.show()

However, it doesn't tell me what I should do in my situation.

I have a remote iPython server. How do I get a plot to show in iPython?

there is no UI installed to the server of course. I ssh into it. As well as, GTK is a very big package. — Whitequill Riclo, May 24 '14 at 17:13

I did manage to solve my own problem I found if I used %matplotlib inline, or %pylab inline I could plot the graph.
