Matplotlib imshow/matshow display values on plot

Question

I am trying to create a 10x10 grid using either imshow or matshow in Matplotlib. The function below takes a numpy array as input, and plots the gri

Answer 1

Some elaboration on the code of @wflynny making it into a function that takes any matrix no matter what size and plots its values.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

cols = np.random.randint(low=1,high=30)
rows = np.random.randint(low=1,high=30)
X = np.random.rand(rows,cols)

def plotMat(X):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    #imshow portion
    ax.imshow(X, interpolation='nearest')
    #text portion
    diff = 1.
    min_val = 0.
    rows = X.shape[0]
    cols = X.shape[1]
    col_array = np.arange(min_val, cols, diff)
    row_array = np.arange(min_val, rows, diff)
    x, y = np.meshgrid(col_array, row_array)
    for col_val, row_val in zip(x.flatten(), y.flatten()):
        c = '+' if X[row_val.astype(int),col_val.astype(int)] < 0.5 else '-' 
        ax.text(col_val, row_val, c, va='center', ha='center')
    #set tick marks for grid
    ax.set_xticks(np.arange(min_val-diff/2, cols-diff/2))
    ax.set_yticks(np.arange(min_val-diff/2, rows-diff/2))
    ax.set_xticklabels([])
    ax.set_yticklabels([])
    ax.set_xlim(min_val-diff/2, cols-diff/2)
    ax.set_ylim(min_val-diff/2, rows-diff/2)
    ax.grid()
    plt.show()

plotMat(X)
