I have been itching my head over this question since yesterday. I have tried and tried but to no avail. So here is my code:

import cv2

img = cv2.imread('new.bmp')

cv2.imshow('FRAME', img)

cv2.waitKey(0)

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

From what I have gathered on the internet, this is supposed to display the image 'new.bmp' in a window called'FRAME'. But all that happens is this!. Can anyone help me?

I don't know python and mac but first thing to check in that sort of problem is image size after imread

I had tried it and it is/was working.Only imshow doesn't work.I want to look into the code that is inside imshow() function. Boy is this driving me nuts.

I confirm that this problem is intrinsic to the HEAD macOS implementation of imshow. A possible workaround is to explicitly size or resize the window.
