dev_kwargsdict, optional

Optional developer keyword arguments.

Returns:
np.ndarray

Numpy array of the last image when screenshot=True is set. Optionally contains alpha values. Sized:

  • [Window height x Window width x 3] if the theme sets transparent_background=False.

  • [Window height x Window width x 4] if the theme sets transparent_background=True.

Examples

Create a simple matplotlib chart and show it.
