How does one save a plot in wandb with wandb.log?

W&B Help
1

I’m trying to save a plot with wandb.log. Their docs say to do:

    wandb.log({"chart": plt})

but this fails for me.

I get two errors, 1st error (when I do NOT do plt.show() before trying to do wand.log):

ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence

Note that their trivial example DOES work:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4])
plt.ylabel("some interesting numbers")
wandb.log({"chart": plt})

for me.

Hi @brando,

I’m sorry you are facing this. Could you share the code snippet you were using to generate this chart? I’ll test this on my end and see how this can be resolved.

Thanks,
Ramit
