Librosa. Display. Waveplot(Np. Array(F), Sr=22050)-----Attributeerror: 'Module' Object Has No Attribute 'Display'

Referring to this link: , I am trying to make the same waveplot figure, however,i run the code through .py, there is the error:

(tensorflow) yyydeMacBook-Pro:~ yyy$ python /Users/yyy/Desktop/1.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):

    librosa.display.waveplot(np.array(f),sr=22050)

From this github issue I read that it is now necessary to import librosa.display.

[Update 2022] Apparently now also waveplot needs to be changed to waveshow, like below: (thanks to Hammad Hassan in comments!)

import librosa.display
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 4))
librosa.display.waveshow(data, sr=sampling_rate)

If you are running librosa 0.9.0 you will run into following Error using waveplot:

AttributeError: module 'librosa.display' has no attribute 'waveplot'

instead: import librosa.display and use waveshow

path = "sample.wav"
data, sampling_rate = librosa.load(path)
librosa.display.waveshow(data, sr=sampling_rate)

just import the display

import librosa.display
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 4))
librosa.display.waveplot(data, sr=sampling_rate)

Because of the changes in version 0.6.0 of librosa you are getting those errors. I have fixed all the issues in and made it work on Python 3, librosa=0.6.0

Old version of librosa has removed waveplot. Use waveshow to get same result.

import librosa
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

signal, sr = librosa.load('filename.wav')
plt.figure(figsize=(14, 5))
librosa.display.waveshow(signal, sr=sr)
plt.show()
