Error handling

1. Matplotlib errors may occur on servers and some other systems. Change the setting in matplotlibrc from backend : TkAgg to backend : PDF. The file can be found, for example, in a virtual environment under ~/env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc.

   Learn more here.

2. A GeoPandas error may be caused by a missing Rtree libspatialindex_c library. Install libspatialindex_c using:

   $ sudo apt install python3-rtree
   

   On Windows or macOS, it may be necessary to install libspatialindex_c from source.
