# creates train$n, train$x, train$y and test$n, test$x, test$y | |
# e.g. train$x is a 60000 x 784 matrix, each row is one digit (28x28) | |

Very useful. What is the license to re-use the code (for instance in an R package)? Would GPL work? |

Thanks! This saved me quite a bit of spelunking and coding time and the visualizer's really nice. |

In RStudio the data gets loaded (tibble??) but then nothing gets shown. How can we display this? show_digit <- function(arr784, col=gray(12:1/12), ...) { |

@javadba A comment at the top of the code says
Have you tried that? It works for me at the R command line (I'm not using RStudio). |

@medovina I've tried this in ESS, but when I run the whole file and after that I cannot execute "show_digit(train$x[5,])" in the command line, |

I am using jupyter notebook to run the above code. After calling show_digit function it is showing the following error Error in matrix(arr784, nrow = 28): object 'train' not found How do I solve for this |

works like a charm! Maybe the "catch" here is that you should change the file name "train-images.idx3-ubyte" to "train-images-idx3-ubyte" if you downloaded the data directly from source. |
