Learn Gtk?
I'm pretty much convinced that using Gtk in the same way is possible as i'm
doing similar things python based...
There are some obstacles right now:
1) the manipulate.jl example doesn't work anymore with a recent
julia+Winston. I get a long list of these
WARNING: has(d,k) is deprecated, use haskey(d,k) instead.
in has at deprecated.jl:26
in callback_add at /home/lobi_v1/.julia/v0.3/Tk/src/core.jl:206
in anonymous at /home/lobi_v1/.julia/v0.3/Tk/examples/manipulate.jl:149
in map_to! at abstractarray.jl:1239
in map at abstractarray.jl:1248
in manipulate at /home/lobi_v1/.julia/v0.3/Tk/examples/manipulate.jl:149
in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:120
2) Gtk.jl seems to be at the point of an API change.
3) ... actually there are not *any* Gtk.jl examples.
4) Trying to run Winston with output_surface = gtk
also brings up
julia> plot([1 2],[3 4])
julia> ERROR: no method set_line_width(CairoContext, ASCIIString)
so there is some work needed.
But overall i'm pretty optimistic, that this situation will improve.
Wishing a happy day,
Andreas
