[FIXED] matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg is throwing an attribute error for 'blit'

Issue

When I try to run python3 module_7.py on my terminal, I get the following error:

  File "/opt/CarlaSimulator/PythonClient/live_plotter.py", line 227, in plot_figure
    tkagg.blit(photo, fca.get_renderer()._renderer, colormode=2)
AttributeError: module 'matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg' has no attribute 'blit'

I have checked the matplotlib installation and everything seems fine. This problem arises when using the CARLA simulator. There were a couple of suggested fixes like adding the backend_tkagg import before the pyplot import but it didn't fix the problem.

Solution

It seems that matplotlib has changed some things. According to the documentation you should use tkagg.FigureCanvasTkAgg.blit instead of tkagg.blit (assuming that you import matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg as tkagg).
