Pycharm does not show plot

Question

Pycharm does not show plot from the following code:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib as plt

ts = pd.Series(np.random.randn(1000), in         


        

Answer 1

I was facing above error when i am trying to plot histogram and below points worked for me.

OS : Mac Catalina 10.15.5

Pycharm Version : Community version 2019.2.3

Python version : 3.7

1. I changed import statement as below (from - to)

from :

import matplotlib.pylab as plt

to:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

2. and plot statement to below (changed my command form pyplot to plt)

from:

plt.pyplot.hist(df["horsepower"])

# set x/y labels and plot title
plt.pyplot.xlabel("horsepower")
plt.pyplot.ylabel("count")
plt.pyplot.title("horsepower bins") 

to :

plt.hist(df["horsepower"])

# set x/y labels and plot title
plt.xlabel("horsepower")
plt.ylabel("count")
plt.title("horsepower bins")

3. use plt.show to display histogram

plt.show()
