How to fix "AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'rcParams'"

Question

I've been plotting the graph with the below code just fine as the Index as the X-axis. However, now I am trying to make the 'time' column in my data the X-axis and plot that way but I've run into an issue of getting out a blank plot.

Read online and saw others found "plt.plot.rcParams['agg.path.chunksize'] = 20000" useful for this issue. However, now I am running into this error: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'rcParams'

Can you please help?

MY CODE

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

df = pd.read_csv('train.csv', index_col='time')
df.sort_values(by='time')

plt.plot(df['ecg'], label='data', color="orange")

plt.plot.rcParams['agg.path.chunksize'] = 20000


plt.title("ECG Data")
plt.grid()
plt.legend()
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

Answer 1

From here it looks like the syntax is:

mpl.rcParams['lines.color'] = 'r'

where mpl is

import matplotlib as mpl

It does appear that 'agg.path.chunksize' is a valid option though so I would recommend trying:

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.rcParams['agg.path.chunksize'] = 20000

@ALollz believes that the error could just be the .plot and perhaps a simpler solution would be to just change

plt.plot.rcParams['agg.path.chunksize'] = 20000

to

plt.rcParams['agg.path.chunksize'] = 20000
