Saving a Numpy array as an image (instructions)

You might be better off using PIL:

from PIL import Image
import numpy as np

data = np.random.random((100,100))

#Rescale to 0-255 and convert to uint8
rescaled = (255.0 / data.max() * (data - data.min())).astype(np.uint8)

im = Image.fromarray(rescaled)
im.save('test.png')
