Project 5 - Face generation (matplotlib version issue)

[NekuSakuraba]

The following code doesn't work with matplotlib version 2.1.0.
I had to downgrade it to 2.0.2 version.

mnist_images = helper.get_batch(glob(os.path.join(data_dir, 'mnist/*.jpg'))[:show_n_images], 28, 28, 'L')
pyplot.imshow(helper.images_square_grid(mnist_images, 'L'), cmap='gray')

Same issue here, for anyone looking how to downgrade, run the following command if you're using anaconda:

conda install matplotlib=2.0.0

Again, sad to see no response from udacity. Not the first issue without response I encounter.

Why is the code not working with latest matplotlib ?

I used this for now, just a hack, though :(

mnist_images = helper.get_batch(glob(os.path.join(data_dir, 'mnist/*.jpg'))[:show_n_images], 28, 28, 'RGB')
pyplot.imshow(helper.images_square_grid(mnist_images, 'RGB'))

The code currently works only on the versions mentioned in the requirements.txt or the ones provided with the .yml file. I understand that some of them are now deprecated. We are working on updating the code and requirements to match the latest versions.
