Python中的直方图使用matplotlib

我正在努力解决这个问题。还有一些我没有得到的东西。我有一个函数,我想绘制一个字典的直方图,其中x轴上的键和y轴上的值,然后将文件保存在调用函数时指定的位置。我所拥有的是:

​import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


def test(filename):
    dictionary = {0:1000, 1:20, 2:15, 3:0, 4:5}
    xmax = max(dictionary.keys())
    ymax = max(dictionary.values())
    plt.hist(dictionary,xmax)
    plt.title('Histogram Title')
    plt.xlabel('Label')
    plt.ylabel('Another Label')
    plt.axis([0, xmax, 0, ymax])
    plt.figure()
    plt.savefig(filename)

test('test_graph.svg')

我根本无法让这个工作,我很长时间都在努力阅读其他问题和文档。任何帮助将不胜感激。感谢。

编辑:

我遇到的错误是:

File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 343, in figure
    **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py", line 80, in new_figure_manager
    window = Tk.Tk()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1688, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

您正被状态机界面咆哮:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def test(filename):
    dictionary = {0:1000, 1:20, 2:15, 3:0, 4:5}
    xmax = max(dictionary.keys())
    ymax = max(dictionary.values())
    plt.figure() # <- makes a new figure and sets it active (add this)
    plt.hist(dictionary,xmax) # <- finds the current active axes/figure and plots to it
    plt.title('Histogram Title') 
    plt.xlabel('Label')
    plt.ylabel('Another Label')
    plt.axis([0, xmax, 0, ymax])
    # plt.figure() # <- makes new figure and makes it active (remove this)
    plt.savefig(filename) # <- saves the currently active figure (which is empty in your code)

test('test_graph.svg')
