[BUG/ISSUE] "Cannot load backend 'TkAgg'" error when trying to regrid restart from lat-lon to cube sphere #269

Closed msulprizio closed 1 year ago

msulprizio commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug

When attempting to regrid restart files using the latest dev branch of GCPy (at commit 30a13f6) and the regridding fixes from PR #266, I'm getting the following error:

I updated to @yantosca's gcpy environment which had tk installed, but still get the same error.

To Reproduce

I call the file_regrid routine from a bash script:

$!/bin/bash

prefix="GEOSChem.Restart.fullchem.20190101_0000z"

cs_resolutions=( '24' '48' '90' '180') # '360' )

# Loop over output resolutions
for cs_res in "${cs_resolutions[@]}"; do

    python -m gcpy.file_regrid --filein ${prefix}.nc4 \
       --dim_format_in classic \
       --fileout ${prefix}.c${cs_res}.nc4 \
       --cs_res_out ${cs_res} \
       --dim_format_out checkpoint

    # Remove regridding files
    rm -rf conservative_*.nc

done

Thanks @msulprizio. According to StackOverflow, this should be the proper import order:

from matplotlib import use as mpl_use
mpl_use("TkAgg")                          # X11 backend for plt.show()
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Apparently you need to apply the X11 backend immediately after importing matplotlib and before importing matplotlib.pyplot.

A hotfix has been pushed in commit 8f7528459f3cb751438dea13e0d42064aff84a1c to the dev branch.

We can close this issue as #275 has since been merged into version 1.4.0.
