module 'matplotlib' has no attribute 'imshow' [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to display data as an image using matplotlib, but I received this error: AttributeError module 'matplotlib' has no attribute 'imshow'

Here is an example code:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib as plt 

im = np.arange(10)
im = im[np.newaxis, :]
im = np.repeat(im, 10, axis=0)
plt.imshow(im, cmap='gray')

using : python : 3.7.9 matplotlib: 3.3.4

Answer 1

The import should be:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
