switch to gtk-renderer as default #237

Closed timholy closed 5 years ago

This is a rebase of #173. Now that Gtk can be precompiled, there is no disadvantage to making it the default.

I have not yet succeeded in turning on precompilation for Winston; since Tk is not precompilable, I think the easiest way to achieve that would be to just ditch Tk altogether. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts before I embark on such a mission.

So I merged this locally with my PR #252 (I know, git strange land), and added pre-compile code but I'm not getting any plots to render in a separate window, like they were rendering with the master (that uses Tk.jl). Probably some more setup with Gtk?

Hmm, it's been so long I don't remember the results, but I don't remember noticing any problems. But that might not mean much.
