imshowtools 0.3.0

imshowtools contains simplified imshow functions to show multiple images and with other options

imshowtools

This library lets you view images in Jupyter notebooks in a much simpler and intuitive way. Ships with a better 'imshow' function with Multi Images, Smart Wrap and BGR support!.

Installation

To install imshowtools, simply do

pip install imshowtools

Usage

Import imshow from imshowtools and use it like:

from imshowtools import imshow
imshow(lenna)

Advanced Usage

Colorspaces

OpenCV lover? imshowtools can also handle cv2's BGR images

import cv2
cv2image = cv2.imread('lenna.png')
imshow(cv2image)

imshow(cv2image, mode='BGR')

Show Multiple Images

imshow(image_1, image_2, image_3)

Show Multiple Images from List

imshow(*[my_image_list])

Example:

mnist = tf.keras.datasets.mnist

(x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = mnist.load_data()
x_train, x_test = x_train / 255.0, x_test / 255.0
[x_train.shape, y_train.shape], [x_test.shape, y_test.shape]
imshow(*x_train[:25])

Multiple images with colorspace:

imshow(*x_train[:100], cmap='gray')

Single Row and Single Column

imshow(*x_train[:16], cmap='binary', rows=1)

imshow(*x_train[:4], cmap='binary', columns=1)

Smart Wrapping / Custom Rows and Columns

We choose the right layout for you:

• Have 6 images? You get 2x3
• Have 12 images? You get 3x4

You can also choose to manually control how many rows and columns you

imshow(*my_image_array, rows=3, columns=4)

Namespaces

If you do not want to use imshow directly in your app (maybe you have another function named imshow), you shall use it like

import imshowtools
imshowtools.imshow(your_image)

or if you like to use a custom namespace

import imshowtools as my_namespace
my_namespace.imshow(your_image)

Uninstall

To uninstall imshowtools,

pip uninstall imshowtools
