figure of imshow() is too small

Question

I\'m trying to visualize a numpy array using imshow() since it\'s similar to imagesc() in Matlab.

imshow(random.rand(8, 90), interpolation=\'nearest\')
         


        

Answer 1

That's strange, it definitely works for me:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

plt.figure(figsize = (20,2))
plt.imshow(random.rand(8, 90), interpolation='nearest')

I am using the "MacOSX" backend, btw.
