Import "matplotlib" could not be resolved django
Install matplotlib:
bash pip install matplotlib
Add 'matplotlib' to the 'INSTALLED_APPS' list in the Django settings.py file:
python INSTALLED_APPS = [ # ... 'matplotlib', # ... ]
Include the matplotlib URL patterns in the project's urls.py file: ```python from django.urls import path from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import include
urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('matplotlib/', include('matplotlib.urls')), # Add this line # ... ] ```
- Create a urls.py file inside the 'matplotlib' app and define the necessary URL patterns: ```python from django.urls import path from .views import YourMatplotlibView
urlpatterns = [ path('your-matplotlib-view/', YourMatplotlibView.as_view(), name='your-matplotlib-view'), # Add other URL patterns as needed ] ```
- Create a views.py file inside the 'matplotlib' app and define the necessary view: ```python from django.shortcuts import render from django.views import View import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from django.http import HttpResponse
class YourMatplotlibView(View): def get(self, request, args, *kwargs): # Your matplotlib code here plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4]) plt.ylabel('Some Numbers') plt.savefig('path/to/your/static/images/plot.png') # Save the plot image plt.close() # Close the plot to free up resources
return HttpResponse("Matplotlib view executed successfully!")
```
Configure the STATICFILES_DIRS setting in the Django settings.py file to include the directory where your static files (including the generated matplotlib plot image) are located:
python STATICFILES_DIRS = [ # ... os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'path/to/your/static'), # ... ]
In your HTML template, include the matplotlib plot image using the static template tag:
html <img src="{% static 'images/plot.png' %}" alt="Matplotlib Plot">
Run the Django development server:
bash python manage.py runserver
Visit the specified URL for your matplotlib view in the browser and verify that the plot is displayed.
