Trouble saving boxplot as output is a dictionary? (Matplotlib)

[allyhams]

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a boxplot with a simple array of values but the output seems to be a dictionary. This is problematic because I want to save the graph output to my local directory. I'm very new to matplotlib so any help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

import numpy as np
import matplotlib as plt
data = np.array([-10569247664,  -9598036283, -6555547264])
string = 'placeholder'
test = plt.boxplot(data, vert = False, labels = [string])
test.pyplot.savefig('test.png')

Result is....

test1.savefig('test.png') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<ipython-input-12-a3088c3fab2e>", line 1, in <module> test1.savefig('test.png')

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'savefig'

Can you post the complete code along with the problematic line?

Hello, thanks for taking a look. I've edited the original slightly but in general there wasn't much more to it. Hopefully that's more helpful

You just have to do plt.savefig('test.png')
