Question

Can I visualize a sparse matrix?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use tools like matplotlib to visualize the structure of a sparse matrix.

Example Code: Visualizing a Sparse Matrix

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix

# Create a sparse matrix
A = csr_matrix([[1, 0, 2],
                [0, 0, 3],
                [4, 0, 5]])

# Plot the matrix structure
plt.spy(A, markersize=5)
plt.show()
