Invalid dimension for image data in plt.imshow()

As per the comment of @sdcbr using np.sqeeze reduces unnecessary dimension. If image is 2 dimensions then imshow function works fine. If image has 3 dimensions then you have to reduce extra 1 dimension. But, for higher dim data you will have to reduce it to 2 dims, so np.sqeeze may be applied multiple times. (Or you may use some other dim reduction functions for higher dim data)

import numpy as np  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
img_path = x_test[1]  
print(img_path.shape)
if(len(img_path.shape) == 3):
    plt.imshow(np.squeeze(img_path))
elif(len(img_path.shape) == 2):
    plt.imshow(img_path)
else:
    print("Higher dimensional data")

Example:

plt.imshow(test_images[0])

TypeError: Invalid shape (28, 28, 1) for image data

Correction:

plt.imshow((tf.squeeze(test_images[0])))

Number 7
