TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'QuadMesh' and 'float' in Python

I have the following code. I know it’s long and complex, however it takes 1.5 mins on my laptop to run. I would greatly appreciate any help towards finding the problem causing the error at the end – the plotting part.I didn’t find anything on Google related to this error message:

I have tried many forms to be introduced in the plotting part. It fails with:

MEDevel.com: Open-source for Healthcare and Education

Collecting and validating open-source software for healthcare, education, enterprise, development, medical imaging, medical records, and digital pathology.

Visit Medevel

c = ax.pcolormesh(returned_times_pretty_mesh, xis_mesh, (c*epsilon_0)*np.real(Es_Kappa_time)**2, cmap='viridis')
fig.colorbar(c, ax=ax, label=r'$[V/m]$')

Fails with:

    160 fig, ax = plt.subplots()
--> 161 ax.imshow(np.multiply(np.real(Es_Kappa_time)**2, (c*epsilon_0)), cmap='viridis')

I ran out of ideas of what I might introduce there.

Thank you!

>Solution :

It looks like you’re reassigning c to the return value from ax.pcolormesh(...) after you import c from scipy.constants.
