I'm working with matplotlib, specifically its imshow()
operation. I have a multi-dimension array generated by random.rand function from NumPy.
data_array = np.random.rand(63, 4, 4, 3)
Now I want to generate images using the imshow() function from matplotlib using every 63 entries of this data array, and even this code below has generated the desired image I wanted.
plt.imshow(data_array[0]) #image constructed for the 1st element of the array
Now I wanted to save all the images produced using the imshow() from the array's entries and save those in a specific folder on my computer with a specific name. I tried with this code below.
def create_image(array):
return plt.imshow(array, interpolation='nearest', cmap='viridis')
count = 0
for i in data_array:
count += 63
image_machine = create_image(i)
image_machine.savefig('C:\Users\Asus\Save Images\close_'+str(count)+".png")
Using this code, I want to save each image produced using each entry of data_array using the imshow() function and save it to the specific folder 'C:\Users\Asus\Save Images' with a particular name encoding like 1st image will be saved as close_0.png
Please help me in this saving step, I'm stuck here.
You can do the following:
from pathlib import Path
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
output_folder = "path/to/folder/"
data_array = np.random.rand(63, 4, 4, 3)
for index, array in enumerate(data_array):
fig = plt.figure()
plt.imshow(array, interpolation="nearest", cmap="viridis")
fig.savefig(Path(output_folder, f"close_{index}.png"))
plt.close()
I have added the plt.close
otherwise you will end up with a lot of images simultaneously open.
