What does extent do within imshow()?

131 views Asked by At

Im wanting to use imshow() to create an image of a 2D histogram. However on several of the examples ive seen the 'extent' is defined. What does 'extent' actually do and how do you choose what values are appropriate?

Extent defines the images max and min of the horizontal and vertical values. It takes four values like so: extent=[horizontal_min,horizontal_max,vertical_min,vertical_max].
