Python Matplotlib: 解决 Tcl_AsyncDelete: async handler deleted by the wrong thread

问题：
在同时使用PyQt5中的QThread和matplotlib.pyplot时，虽然一开始所有的图形都能顺利生成，但是在关闭窗口的时候，就会生成以下的错误：

Tcl_AsyncDelete: async handler deleted by the wrong thread

原因：
一开始我以为是多线程的问题，后来才发现是matplotlib.pyplot造成的问题。matplotlib.pyplot在运行的时候，是需要在主线程(Main Thread)上运行的，然而，我在使用多线程的时候，将使用matplotlib.pyplot的函数用在了子线程里面。之后也在matplotlib的官方FAQ找到了相应的原因，如下图：

解决方法：
将原本的import matplotlib.pyplot as plt修改成以下：

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
