No plot display

[Matgn34]

In the quickstart guide vhen I use the exemple nixtla_client.plot(df, timegpt_fcst_df, time_col='timestamp', target_col='value')

No plot is showing on my screen, is this normal ? How can I resolve this ? Thanks

Thanks for using TimeGPT! I need a bit more details to be able to help you:

• Please provide all code that you have run so that I can also run it as a standalone example, showcasing the issue on my pc. Did you just run the quickstart code in Google Colab?
• Please provide details on how/where you have run this code. E.g. in Google Colab?
• Do you have a TimeGPT API key?

[Matgn34]

Thanks for your answer. I have a an API key and it runs in a IDE. I simply test your study cases provided in installation. import pandas as pd import os from nixtla import NixtlaClient

Configurez les variables d'environnement pour le proxy

os.environ['HTTP_PROXY'] = '' os.environ['HTTPS_PROXY'] = ''

nixtla_client = NixtlaClient( api_key = '' ) nixtla_client.validate_api_key()

df = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nixtla/transfer-learning-time-series/main/datasets/air_passengers.csv') df.head() nixtla_client.plot(df, time_col='timestamp', target_col='value') timegpt_fcst_df = nixtla_client.forecast(df=df, h=12, freq='MS', time_col='timestamp', target_col='value') timegpt_fcst_df.head() nixtla_client.plot(df, timegpt_fcst_df, time_col='timestamp', target_col='value')

You should probably respond to this. It is unclear in the documentation that the library is working in colab. It does not work in many other environments.

The output from the plot method is a matplotlib figure, which is displayed when working with notebooks but needs to be saved when using a script. How are you using this?

I have also just stumbled across the documentation. It looked very extensive at first, but has since proved to be of little use. For your specific question:

nixtla_client.plot(df, time_col='timestamp', target_col='value').savefig('test.png') when using in a plain python script.

@StefanAtUeber What can we do to improve the documentation?
