InspectDR Fails in Julia 1.6

[mattcbro]

I'm not sure what's causing this, but this code fails.

using Plots
inspectdr()

uu = 1:10
plot(uu, 2 * uu, show=true)

I get the following error message:

ERROR: type Plot2D has no field plotbb

Yes sorry. A temporary glitch. Please see Issue https://github.com/ma-laforge/InspectDR.jl/issues/24 for more info.

TLDR:

You need to update plots to v1.11.1 (or higher) to be compatible with InspectDR v0.4.0's changes:

julia> ]
pkg> update Plots

Fantastic. It's working now. Thanks for your help.

Sorry for my fool question, my Plots version is 0.28 and can not be updated automatically, what should I do?

[ma-laforge]

@HackYardo: Assuming that wasn't a typo: That's a really old version.

Are you sure you are using Julia v1.6?

Possible things to try

1. Update all your packages. That might be enough.

   julia> ]
   pkg> update

2. Start with a fresh environment. My guess is that you have added many old packages you don't need anymore.

   cd ~/.julia/environments/v1.6
   mv v1.6 v1.6_old

   Then re-run Julia, and re-add Plots & InspectDR. Then, you can add other packages one-by-one to see which one causes problems.

3. Look for answers on discourse --> https://discourse.julialang.org/search?q=downgrade There are good tips here on what you can do.

4. Give me more information about your environment (pkg> status)

Way 1 did not work, everything are old. Way 2 did work, I can use Plots(InspectDR backend) well

more info: Way 2 did not work at the beginning because GR stumbled Plots, so I can't use InspectDR too... The GR.jl harasses me much: https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/3422 https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/issues/364,

@ma-laforge Doesn't InspectDR support aspect_ratio of Plots? Could I make a square grid?

@ma-laforge Please, close this issue as solved.
