Description
This is a Pillow issue but the folks at Pillow suggested a workaround in python-pillow/Pillow#6809 (comment)
Until Pillow merges python-pillow/Pillow#6811 and publishes a new release (in Jan 2023 according to python-pillow/Pillow#6750), this would be the only way to fix it.
The issue is importing matplotlib.figure will in turn import PIL.PngInfoPlugin, which causes existing extensions to not be initialized fully but only initialized with PNG formats. Thus, Image.init() have to be called before this import.
Closes: #2843
