plot sparse matrix pattern

plotsparse.py

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.sparse import coo_matrix

def plot_coo_matrix(m):
    if not isinstance(m, coo_matrix):
        m = coo_matrix(m)
    fig = plt.figure()
    ax = fig.add_subplot(111, axisbg='black')
    ax.plot(m.col, m.row, 's', color='white', ms=1)
    ax.set_xlim(0, m.shape[1])
    ax.set_ylim(0, m.shape[0])
    ax.set_aspect('equal')
    for spine in ax.spines.values():
        spine.set_visible(False)
    ax.invert_yaxis()
    ax.set_aspect('equal')
    ax.set_xticks([])
    ax.set_yticks([])
    return ax
    

shape = (100000, 100000)
rows = np.int_(np.round_(shape[0]*np.random.random(1000)))
cols = np.int_(np.round_(shape[1]*np.random.random(1000)))
vals = np.ones_like(rows)

m = coo_matrix((vals, (rows, cols)), shape=shape)
ax = plot_coo_matrix(m)
ax.figure.show()

add "import numpy as np" at the beginning

replace the last with this to plot without error, still a warning for matplotlib 2
#ax.figure.show()
plt.show()

@qingfengxia thanks dude, fixed it for me
