What to do about obselete getMat call in facial recognition tutorial?

edit

I have an issue compiling the tutorial code for Eigenfaces ( http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/modules/co... ) using the latest master of OpenCV 3.1

I've slightly modifed this code due to contrib.hpp not working, facial recognizer class not being properly recognized, etc. However I still have multiple errors that cannot be resolved. Specifically with the following lines:

    Mat eigenvalues = model->getMat("eigenvalues");
    Mat W = model->getMat("eigenvectors");
    Mat mean = model->getMat("mean");

I've searched far and wide and found multiple possible solutions for correcting this, including something about using getEigenvectors (although that response was vague and unhelpful) but none seem to work. This post is my final hope in trying to figure out what to replace this code with. It seems that the getMat function simply does not work in OpenCV 3.1 and it's not in the API at all. What should I replace this code with to get some working code here?
