I’ve recently attempted to build a Confusion Matrix using the `wandb.plot.confusion_matrix()` command.
Much to my surprise, I get a Table object, not a plot.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered a comment ([here](https://community.wandb.ai/t/wandb-plot-confusion-matrix-just-show-a-table/1744)) saying “Logging the Table also is expected behaviour”.
Really? If I wanted a Table, i would call `wand.table.confusion_matrix()`, not the `plot` command.
I really do want a plot and and do NOT want to “interactively explore” it. I want to see it along with the twenty other plots that I generate with this run. Clicking each and every CM to view it kinda defeats the purpose.
I would like to recommend that this choice be rethought, or at least put in the `table` namespace.
Is there a way to generate a real CM plot?

Hi Kevin, thanks for writing in! I’ve investigated this issue and as you mentioned it seems that when you log the `wandb.plot.confusion_matrix()` it is logged as a tablet but, once the run is finished, the plot is created in the “Custom Charts” section. Could you please check if this is also the behaviour on your end? Thanks!

@system Thank you for the response.
I can confirm that the CM tables does NOT show up in a plot. Only the table is shown.
See attached.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your answer! I’ve explored this and by running the following code I can see both the table (Tables section) and the plot (Custom Charts section) once the run is finished. Could you try running it and see if you get the plots and the tables? Also, it would be really useful if you could send me a code snippet and a link to the Workspace where you are logging this.
```
import wandbimport numpy as npwandb.init(project='Confusion_Matrix')cm = wandb.plot.confusion_matrix( probs=None, y_true=np.random.randint(3, size=5), preds=np.random.randint(3, size=5), class_names=['cat', 'dog', 'human'], title=f'Confusion Matrix')wandb.log({f'Confusion Matrix': cm})wandb.finish()
```
Best,
Luis
