Seaborn Plot doesn't show up

Question

I am creating a bar chart with seaborn, and it's not generating any sort of error, but nothing happens either.

This is the code I have:

import pandas 
import numpy
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn

data = pandas.read_csv('fy15crime.csv', low_memory = False)
seaborn.countplot(x="primary_type", data=data)
plt.xlabel('crime')
plt.ylabel('amount')

seaborn.plt.show()

I added "seaborn.plt.show() in an effort to have it show up, but it isn't working still.

Answer 1

I was using PyCharm using a standard Python file and I had the best luck with the following:

1. Move code to a Jupyter notebook (which can you do inside of PyCharm by right clicking on the project and choosing new - Jupyter Notebook)

2. If running a chart that takes a lot of processing time it might not have been obvious before, but in Jupyter mode you can easily see when the cell has finished processing.

Answer 2

You should place this line somewhere in the top cell in Jupyter to enable inline plotting:

%matplotlib inline

Answer 3

It's simply plt.show() you were close. No need for seaborn
