Example that fails to execute

This example demonstrates a code block that raises an error and how any code blocks that follow are not executed.

When scripts fail, their gallery thumbnail is replaced with the broken image stamp. This allows easy identification in the gallery display.

You will also get the python traceback of the failed code block.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

plt.pcolormesh(np.random.randn(100, 100))

<matplotlib.collections.QuadMesh object at 0x7fcd961169e0>

This next block will raise a NameError

iae  # noqa

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/circleci/project/examples/no_output/plot_raise.py", line 26, in <module>
    iae  # noqa
NameError: name 'iae' is not defined

Sphinx gallery will stop executing the remaining code blocks after the exception has occurred in the example script. Nevertheless the html will still render all the example annotated text and code blocks, but no output will be shown.

Here is another error raising block but will not be executed

plt.plot("Strings are not a valid argument for the plot function")
