Hi - I've been experimenting with Julia for the last week, on and off. I'm an experienced R user, and get by with C++, java, python, etc.
Wanted to say fantastic effort - really enjoying Julia. To get to grips with Julia I looked at porting some simulation stuff I had in R/C++ into Julia. Everything went well, except the graphics. As any experienced R user would likely do initially..I got some data: *data=Rmath.rnorm(1000,0,1)* and would like to chuck up a basic histogram (as in R): *hist(data)* >From my incomplete readings, I could not tell if there is a "standard" graphics platform (Winston, Gadfly, etc). After numerous things did not work, I ended up using Plot.ly - via Julia, which although effortless, leaves me feeling I've missed something "native" to Base Julia, or perhaps an easier way to do this via another module? Is there a standard "benchmark" way to chuck up a histogram, something that I've missed? Thanks, chris
