Plots image using matplotlib.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default

image

ImageType

The frame to be displayed ImageType is a flexible type, accepting either numpy.ndarray or PIL.Image.Image.

required

size

Tuple[int, int]

The size of the plot in inches.

(12, 12)

cmap

str

the colormap to use for single channel images.

'gray'

Examples:

import cv2
import supervision as sv

image = cv2.imread("path/to/image.jpg")

%matplotlib inline
sv.plot_image(image=image, size=(16, 16))

Plots images in a grid using matplotlib.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default

images

List[ImageType]

A list of images as ImageType is a flexible type, accepting either numpy.ndarray or PIL.Image.Image.

required

grid_size

Tuple[int, int]

A tuple specifying the number of rows and columns for the grid.

required

titles

Optional[List[str]]

A list of titles for each image. Defaults to None.

None

size

Tuple[int, int]

A tuple specifying the width and height of the entire plot in inches.

(12, 12)

cmap

str

the colormap to use for single channel images.

'gray'

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If the number of images exceeds the grid size.

import cv2
import supervision as sv
from PIL import Image

image1 = cv2.imread("path/to/image1.jpg")
image2 = Image.open("path/to/image2.jpg")
