When I was learning beginner level tutorial, 6. Understanding ROS Topics with ROS kinetic on Ubuntu, no new window appeared after running

rosrun rqt_plot rqt_plot

and the error info is:

  warnings.warn("Unable to find pixel distance along axis "

Hey, I'm also a beginner and had the same problem. The problem was that my matplotlib was outdated or not installed (not sure honestly) following this: https://matplotlib.org/users/installi... was the solution. Hope it helps!
