Ben,
   That worked great, thanks!!!  Just a few points.  The documentation under
the image tutorial section does not specify that a user has to do
"plt.show()", should I submit a bug report or something?  I changed my code
and listed it below it works as long as I comment out the plot c section.
In other words if I perform a normal 2d plot then close plot window the
image plot does not product a result.  If I comment out the plot c section
then the image plot works great.  Any ideas?

Even the stink bug example is working when I read a image from disk.
Thanks.


# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from numpy import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.image as mpimg

print "Numpy version: " + __version__

a = array([10,20,30,40])
print "result of a"
print a

b = arange(4)
print "result of b"
print b

c = linspace(-pi, pi, 30)
print "result of c"
print c

# this plot code works
print "plot c"
plt.plot(c)
plt.ylabel("-pi to + pi")
plt.xlabel("value of c")
plt.show()

# this image processing code does not work
print "doing image processing stuff"
img=mpimg.imread("/Users/rovitotv/Desktop/stinkbug.png") # this does not
work
##img = zeros((10, 10), dtype=uint8)
##for i in range(10):
##    img[i,i] = 255;

plt.imshow(img)
plt.show()
print "data type of img:"
print img.dtype
print "size of img:" + str(img.size)
print img
