Error with matplotlib.show() : module ‘matplotlib’ has no attribute ‘show’

  • 8

I’m a Python 3.6 user and I’ve been trying to learn how to use the matplotlib and pandas libraries. But as I try to use the “show()” function, I get the following error: 

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib as plt
df=pd.DataFrame({'Day':[1,2,3], 'Revenue':[100,200,320]})
df.plot()
plt.show()

ERROR: AttributeError: module ‘matplotlib’ has no attribute ‘show’

      Do not use

      import matplotlib as plt

      but rather use

      import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

      plt is an abbreviation for pyplot, which is a module inside the matplotlib package. You need to address it for the kinds of things you are doing, not just matplotlib.

      Note that matplotlib can be used without using pyplot at all, but most people find it easier to use pyplot. See its documentation or the tutorial for details.
