I'm trying to make a plot:
from matplotlib import *
import sys
from pylab import *
f = figure ( figsize =(7,7) )
But I get this error when I try to execute it:
File "mratio.py", line 24, in <module>
f = figure( figsize=(7,7) )
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
I have run a similar script before, and I think I've imported all the relevant modules.
The figure is a module provided by matplotlib.
You can read more about it in the Matplotlib documentation
I think what you want is matplotlib.figure.Figure (the class, rather than the module)
It's documented here
from matplotlib import *
import sys
from pylab import *
f = figure.Figure( figsize =(7,7) )
or
from matplotlib import figure
f = figure.Figure( figsize =(7,7) )
or
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
f = Figure( figsize =(7,7) )
or to get pylab to work without conflicting with matplotlib:
from matplotlib import *
import sys
import pylab as pl
f = pl.figure( figsize =(7,7) )
figure should be a function from pylab and so this should still work.
pylab to import figure without conflicting with matplotlibfigure from pylab didn't replace matplotlib's figure. It should have.
pl.figure as suggested by @Ewan to avoid thisYou need to do:
matplotlib.figure.Figure
Here,
matplotlib.figure is a package (module), and `Figure` is the method
Reference here.
So you would have to call it like this:
f = figure.Figure(figsize=(7,7))
Instead of
from matplotlib import *
use
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
To prevent future errors regarding matplotlib.pyplot, try doing this: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
If you use Jupyter notebooks and use: %matplotlib inline, make sure that the "%matplotlib inline FOLLOWS the import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Karthikr's answer works but might not eliminate errors in other lines of code related to the pyplot module.
Happy coding!!
For Jupyter notebook I solved this issue by importig matplotlib.pyplot instead.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib notebook
Making plots with f = plt.figure() now works.
Wrong Library:
import matplotlib as plt
plt.figure(figsize=(7, 7))
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
But
Correct Library:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.figure(figsize=(7, 7))
Above code worked for me for the same error.
figurewith something else?import pylab; print pylab.__file__and give us the resultprint pylab.figure?
