how to remove grid lines on image in python?

Question

I am using google colab for my project. I am getting grid lines on images even I am not writing them.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
import cv2

img = cv2.imread('k15.jpg')

img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

plt.imshow(img)

for code like above, I am getting grid lines which is not the case when I run the same code in my python shell.

Solution 1

Apparently something in the background changes the style. I have no experience whatsoever with google colab ti judge whether this can be responsible for the observed difference in displayed image.

In any case it should be possible to manually turn the grid lines off on a per notebook basis.

%matplotlib inline
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams["axes.grid"] = False

# rest of code

Solution 2

plt.imshow(myImage)
plt.grid(None)   <---- this should remove that white grid

When you open it in PIL you need to provide the entirety of the image's path

there is no path as I am using it on google colab. also, same script is working fine on local python shell.

That's finally solved my problem. I was looking for somehow to stop this but couldn't find any. Thanks!!

Actually, plt.grid() will also remove the grid, so dont have to even type 'None'
