The syntax for Plotly IMshow is pretty simple.

You call the function as px.imshow and then provide the name of the image file you want to visualize.

(This assumes you've imported Plotly express as px)

Typically, when you plot an image this way ...

The input to px.imshow will be a .jpg or .png file ...

But You'll need to read the file in first using Plotly imread
