Cannot load backend ‘Qt5Agg’ which requires the ‘qt5’ interactive framework, as ‘headless’ is currently running

This is happening because Google Colab and Jupyter run on virtual environments which do not support GUI outputs as you cannot open new windows through a browser.

Running it locally on a code editor(Spyder, or even IDLE) ensures that it can open a new window for the GUI to initialize.

For coding the GUI it is best to do it locally on a full-fledged code editor.
