The tutorial doesn't indicate this and reader's of the tutorial will see depreciation warnings when trying to go through the tutorial.\r\n* Second, I believe this tutorial is quite lengthy for an intro on how to use matplotlib.pyplot.imshow(). I think it would be better not to overwhelm new users with paragraphs of information on image analysis techniques and theory. Linking to pages about these topics might save users time.\r\n\r\n\r\n### Suggested improvement\r\n\r\nI am considering rewriting this tutorial but first I want to get an idea of how to rewrite it in a way that avoids adding too many details but also gives users a good introduction to imshow(). As this is the first time I've contributed here, I wanted to get input from others before I started this process.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/blu3r4d0n","@type":"Person","name":"blu3r4d0n"},"datePublished":"2022-04-06T04:21:38.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/22790/matplotlib/issues/22790"}
