ipyplot.plot_class_tabs not showing images

[segalinc]

Hi there,
I am using ipyplot.plot_class_tabs where the images is a pd.Series of local paths
when running the line, it doesn't show the images, only the icon of the image as it's not able to load them. the paths are already relative paths in a folder in the same directory of the notebook I am running
Images are all jpg format

Am I missing something?

I also tried using the absolute path but still same issue
Thank you for the help

Hi @segalinc
Could you share a code snippet of how you're running it and preferably a sample of strings that you're using as your local paths? Also what notebooks environment you're running it in? (e.g.: Jupyter, Google Colab, etc.)

[segalinc]

I am using jupyter notebook
here is the line I am calling
ipyplot.plot_class_tabs(df.path, df.feature_code, custom_texts = df.feature_value.astype(float).round(4), show_url=False, tabs_order=cols)
where df.path is a dataframe columns with strings like data/image_name.jpg and data is in the same folder as the notebook I am running

I used the same command line where df.path was an url instead and it worked fine

I also tired to have a column with the loaded pil images too but it doesn't work

force_b64=True takes forever to run and than crashes

Since you mentioned it works fine when you try running ipyplot directly with string URLs I would bet that there's something funky happening when you pass your column (pandas series object) as an input. Maybe the data type is something else than string? Please try running the following lines an let me know what is the output:

print(df.path.dtype)
print(type(df.path.values[0]))
print(type(df.path[0]))

I'm trying to recreate your scenario but I'm failing to get any errors. I have the same setup as you with data folder with images located in the same dir as my notebook and I run something like this with success:

Please provide the following info for me to try recreate your issue:

• Which version of ipyplot, python and pandas are you using?

[segalinc]

Hi thank you again for helping. this are the info you requested

ipyplot==1.1.1
python==3.7.12
pandas==1.3.5

print(df.path.dtype) --> object
print(type(df.path.values[0])) --> <class 'str'>
print(type(df.path[0])) --> <class 'str'>

[karolzak]

Thanks for providing additional info.
I'm trying to recreate this issue but it doesn't show up in any of my test environments...

I assume simply running ipyplot.plot_images(df.path) doesn't work either?

[segalinc]

No it doesn't

[karolzak]

Are there any special characters in the image paths? Such as space, &, $, %?
Could you please share few actual strings from df.path?

[segalinc]

No, here are some examples
0 img/60027106_1672795_141993.jpg
1 img/60027106_1672795_100199.jpg
2 img/60027106_1672795_15606.jpg

[karolzak]

Just to be absolutely sure - if you run bellow code it displays images correctly?

images = ["img/60027106_1672795_141993.jpg", "img/60027106_1672795_100199.jpg", "img/60027106_1672795_15606.jpg"]
ipyplot.plot_images(images)

[segalinc]

no, that doesn't work either

[karolzak]

And img directory is located in the same directory as the .ipynb notebook file you're running your code from?
At which directory level is your jupyter server running?

[segalinc]

yes it is.
it runs internally in our infrastructure. I also tried using absolute paths but same issue.
tried also reading the images in PIL and expose them directly but seems like it has issue loading them too

[karolzak]

That's very odd.. There's a known issue with not displaying images from directories outside of Jupyter server scope but I'm not convinced if that's the case here. You can check this thread to find out if it's relevant at all for your case.

And as for PIL, does this work for you?

from PIL import Image
images = ["img/60027106_1672795_141993.jpg", "img/60027106_1672795_100199.jpg", "img/60027106_1672795_15606.jpg"]
ipyplot.plot_images([Image.open(path) for path in images])

[segalinc]

that's exactly what I tried and it doesn't work.
I also already checked that issue before opening this one
Using force_b64 takes forever to run and than it doesn't even show anything afterall, very odd

[karolzak]

What's the error message when you try to open images with PIL?
