Skimage: how to show image

Question

I am novice at skimage and I try to show the image in my ipython notebook:\

from skimage import data, io
coins = data.coins()
io.imshow(coins)

But I see only the following string:

<matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7f8c9c0cc6d8>

Can anyboby explain how to show image right under the code like here: Correct output

Just add matplotlib.pyplot.show() after the io.imshow(coins) line.

from skimage import data, io
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt


coins = data.coins()
io.imshow(coins)
plt.show()

This doesn't work for me, but maybe it works for OP. – A. Vidor Jul 27 '16 at 07:44
@this-vidor strange enough. Try running that in a python console. – Eli Korvigo Jul 27 '16 at 07:47
Where do you think I was running it! – A. Vidor Jul 27 '16 at 07:50

@this-vidor can you show me your output? I guess your matplotlib backend is not configured properly. – Eli Korvigo Jul 27 '16 at 07:52

Run '%matplotlib inline' somewhere in your Notebook first, then it should show it inline – Jan van der Vegt Jul 27 '16 at 07:55
There is no output besides what OP indicated. `plt.show()` doesn't raise or anything, it just doesn't show anything. Glad it worked for OP. This is not actually an issue I need to resolve. – A. Vidor Jul 27 '16 at 07:56

@Tehada sorry, I missed the ipython notebook part. As Jan van der Vegt says, just put the `%matplotlib inline` magic command to inline the images inside your notebook. – Eli Korvigo Jul 27 '16 at 08:00
For this to work for me, I had to also do `io.use_plugin('matplotlib')` – kunigami Dec 16 '22 at 21:57

To display pending images, you need io.show() following io.imshow(coins)

You can use skimage and matplotlib.pyplot as follows

from skimage import io, data  
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

# get coin image
coin = data.coins()    

# display image   
plt.imshow(coin)
plt.show()

Just use matplotlib.pyplot.imshow() instead of io.imshow(coins).

from skimage import data.0
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

coins = data.coins()
plt.imshow(coins)
