Presumably there is no problem if you don't use Gadfly at all?

@tlnagy, any idea why there would be a Gadfly/PyPlot conflict?

protogeezer commented 8 years ago

The literal answer to your question is no - there are frequent crashes with PyPlot and PyCall whether Gadfly is loaded or not. I filed this issue because the crash was reproducible.

So, it's the other way around. I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate the need for Python, or matplotlib in particular. Gadfly is gaining altitude again, and since Gadfly graphics are so much nicer than marplotlib, that's where I'm going to invest my time.

@tlnagy

tlnagy commented 8 years ago

Huh. This is really weird. What's your versioninfo()?

protogeezer commented 8 years ago

Spooky is how i’d describe it. If you need me to jettison all the parts of Gallium I installed in a vain attempt to get the debugger working, let me know.

Aside: When you are able and willing, I’d like to correspond about my interest in building a high performance/full featured graphics backend (or middle layer) for Gadfly. One thought is to sub-in Qt for the quasi-gnome julia seems to favor now. The other thought is to to distinguish Macs with a no-holds-barred Cocoa backend. Either would allow direct use of the window system to manage layouts, and utilize something like VTK and ITK as the 2d/3d engines.

In any event, there isn’t much of a rush - this will be a hobby with the intent of having something by julia 1.0…

The tricky part that I need to make sure I’m totally in sync with is that anything that is truly cross platform and pro-grade will require a redo of the julia runtime - most specifically getting rid of libUV. That is not something that is worth doing if there isn’t much interest in a better graphics engine.

I don't think I could dedicate much time to such a project, but it would be cool to have. You can email me at my email address on my github profile. And to be honest, I don't know what is going on here. I agree that it seems spooky, maybe @shashi knows?

protogeezer commented 8 years ago

What I’m asking for is maybe exchanging a dozen or two emails to make sure what I go off and work on is ultimately valuable. I don’t believe that I need much help once I have a clear vision of what I’m setting out to accomplish.

Really, you have brought Gadfly back from the brink. That’s huge! My intent is to build a more capable framework to make it even better.

I’ll do more digging to see if I can narrow down what’s going on wrt PyPlot vs Gadfly.

@cstjean Probably it's yet another #410 (just by pattern matching TkpInit). It looks like pygui(:qt5) after installing dependencies works.
