I agree that making a Plots recipe (and removing dependency on any plotting module) should be the way to move forward. It's on the ever growing to-do list :)
If you just want MCMC without plotting in Mamba, you can clone my forked Mamba. I have removed Gadfly dependency. You should plot by yourself though.
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/gino244/Mamba.jl.git")
You have to remove the original Mamba first, then do the command above.
This is my temporary remediation until the original upgraded with Plots.jl, I hope.
BTW, based on the discussion at https://github.com/GiovineItalia/Gadfly.jl/pull/1090, there appears to be recent work being done to migrate Gadfly to DataFrames 11.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll use @gino244 's fork as an immediate solution, but look forward to a more plotting-system-agnostic version in the future.
@gino244, maybe you can submit a PR to get your version into master? Or I suppose we'd want to add the stripped-out functionality back to your fork via Plots.jl first?
@brian-j-smith Glad to see there's progress on the Gladfly front -- that would make for another workable short-term solution for users.
Gadfly is fixed now. please checkout it's master branch (and Compose's too) and let me know if all is fixed. then i'll tag a release. sorry for the delay!
Thanks for the news and work on Gadfly. I can confirm that checking out the master branches of Gadfly and Compose releases DataFrames to version 11+ and appears to be function correctly with Mamba.
Hi-
I was wondering if this might be worth reopening. It would be nice to have the ability to use Plots instead of Gadfly. MCMCChain.jl uses a chain object based on Mamba's, which already has methods for plots in Plots.jl as well as diagnostics.
With the current changes in the Julia data ecosystem migrating to DataFrames 11+, some packages have not kept up -- notably Gadfly. Until it's easy to manage multiple package sets (a la Python's virtualenv), this creates problems for users.
I wanted to try out Mamba, but it cannot be installed because it requires Gadfly, which requires DataFrames < 0.11.0:
Many Julia users are relying more on Plots.jl for plotting these days instead of Gadfly -- are there any plans to make Gadfly optional or replace it with Plots.jl?
Thanks! Ian
