%matplotlib widget run time error #559
Description
Hello,
I saw an old issue about this topic, but I could not find a recent solution.
I am using a Linux machine, Python version 3.12.4. I created my environment and I installed matplotlib by using
pip install matplotlib
But when I run my code in VS code, I get a runtime error related to %matplotlib widget
RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)
File ~/.conda/envs/s_i/lib/python3.12/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/registry.py:413, in BackendRegistry.resolve_gui_or_backend(self, gui_or_backend)

--> 413 return self.resolve_backend(gui_or_backend)
414 except Exception: # KeyError ?File ~/.conda/envs/s_i/lib/python3.12/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/registry.py:375, in BackendRegistry.resolve_backend(self, backend)
374 if gui is None:
--> 375 raise RuntimeError(f"'{backend}' is not a recognised backend name")
377 return backend, gui if gui != "headless" else NoneRuntimeError: 'widget' is not a recognised backend name
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Have you found a solution for this issue?
thank you
