# plot_curves

### deepinv.utils.plot_curves(metrics, save_dir=None, show=True)

Plots the metrics of a Plug-and-Play algorithm.

* **Parameters:**
  * **metrics** ([*dict*](https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/stdtypes.html#dict)) – dictionary of metrics to plot.
  * **save_dir** ([*str*](https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/stdtypes.html#str)) – path to save the plot.
  * **show** ([*bool*](https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/functions.html#bool)) – show the image plot.
