    .. warning::

       uv usually installs its own versions of Python from the
       python-build-standalone project, and only recent versions of those
       Python builds (August 2025) work properly with the ``tkagg`` backend
       for displaying plots in a window. Please make sure you are using uv
       0.8.7 or newer (update with e.g. ``uv self update``) and that your
       bundled Python installs are up to date (with ``uv python upgrade
       --reinstall``).  Alternatively, you can use one of the other
       :ref:`supported GUI frameworks <optional_dependencies>`, e.g.

       .. code-block:: bash

           uv add matplotlib pyside6
