I faced similar problem - i was working on a remote server where i had to work with interactive plots and none of the above mentioned solutions worked for me.
I was using Ubuntu bash on Windows 10 and in the end installing Xming software (http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/) on Windows. There might be some configurations needed but I was finally worked for meable to work with plots on remote server. Just install and launch it (you can see its icon on the bottom tray), and run your graphical application again on the remote server (using the ssh session). Hope it helps!
