How to show matplotlib images in Visual Studio 2019 with Python

Question

Atm I learn Python to do ML. I use Visual Studio 2019 as IDE (not Visual Studio code!). To show image data I installed and imported matplotlib. Here is an excerpt how I call matplotlib

. . .

for image_batch, label_batch in dataset.take(1):
    print(image_batch.shape)
    print(label_batch.numpy())
    plt.imshow(image_batch[0].numpy().astype("uint8"))
    plt.title(class_names[label_batch[0]])
    plt.axis("off")

My example code runs without an error. But the program only prints text in the console. There is no windows showing my picture. I tried to find a solution how to use matploblib in Visual Studio, but I only found information about how to achieve it in Visual Studio Code. What must I do or which extension must install to see the plotted images?

Best regards

Hi, @Gilad Pellaeon

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

You can try to add the following content to your code:

plt.show()  

Then try to run again.
