# scipy.misc.ascent

scipy.misc.ascent()

  Get an 8-bit grayscale bit-depth, 512 x 512 derived image for easy use in demos

  The image is derived from accent-to-the-top.jpg at http://www.public-domain-image.com/people-public-domain-images-pictures/

  Deprecated since version 1.10.0: `ascent` has been deprecated from `scipy.misc.ascent` in SciPy 1.10.0 and it will be completely removed in SciPy 1.12.0. Dataset methods have moved into the `scipy.datasets` module. Use `scipy.datasets.ascent` instead.

  Parameters:
    None
  Returns:
    ascent ndarray

      convenient image to use for testing and demonstration

  Examples

      >>> import scipy.misc
      >>> ascent = scipy.misc.ascent()
      >>> ascent.shape
      (512, 512)
      >>> ascent.max()
      255

      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
      >>> plt.gray()
      >>> plt.imshow(ascent)
      >>> plt.show()
