I had the same problem. Was playing around with it the other day and
came up with something seems to work for the time being. Just thought I would post it here for reference.
... or add the following line to
~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrcNote: I get a warning about Tk being buggy but I haven't
run into any problems yet.

Yes I have the same problem on my new macbook pro.
I was able to get pyqt working with PyPlots by installing pyqt via a special Conda channel:
Conda.add("pyqt", channel="andfoy")Also it seems that conda channel robostack-experimental has pyqt for arm64.... just wish I knew which channel was better or that I trusted these rare "one off" channels.
Why hasn't Conda-forge added arm64 version of pyqt?
stevengj commentedon Jan 26, 2022
Works fine for me on M1; maybe this was a recent problem with Conda?
You can always try a different backend, e.g. set
ENV["MPLBACKEND"]="tkagg"before loading PyPlot.damonturney commentedon Jan 26, 2022
Steve how did you install PyQt5? With Julia and PyPlots, the default conda channels don't even have a working version of pyqt for arm64 chips.... so maybe you had added other conda channels or installed PyQt5 via other methods beyond the Julia Conda package manager?
stevengj commentedon Jan 26, 2022
I just let Conda install it with the default installer, I didn't do anything special:
I'm just using the default channels:
damonturney commentedon Jan 26, 2022
Ok, but we all need to see which conda channel your pyqt came from. pyqt doesn't seem to be available with the normal conda channels.
GenevieveBuckley commentedon Jul 27, 2022
PyQt for M1 macs is now available from conda-forge (and also from the andfoy channel, which is what I was using earlier this year before the conda-forge build became available)
Perhaps this means this issue can now be closed?
