Working With Images In Matplotlib

The image module in matplotlib library is used for working with images in Python. The image module also includes two useful methods which are imread which is used to read images and imshow which is used to display the image.

Python3
# importing required libraries 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import matplotlib.image as img 
# reading the image 
testImage = img.imread('g4g.png') 
# displaying the image 
plt.imshow(testImage) 

Output:
