I'm not sure if you're after anything specific, but a very convenient
way to show 2-D arrays on screen is matplotlib (mpl), which is the
recommended graphical interface to numpy. With the pylab interface to
mpl, the command is as simple as
>>>pylab.imshow(arr)
or
>>>pylab.matshow(arr)
for slightly different axis behaviour.
