Re: [julia-users] "using Gadfly" (using a package) only if needed

[Felipe Jiménez]

Thank you, Isaiah.

Then I understand what I want is the "lazymode" feature, so if I do

using Requires
@lazymod Gadfly

then Gadfly will not be loaded until the first time it is needed.

However, for "Requires" to know when it is needed, do I need to qualify 
with prefix "Gadfly." all my calls to Gadfly functions? I.e. write my code 
above as:

function fwhm(xk, yk; dodraw::Bool=false)
  # ...

  if dodraw
    Gadfly.plot(x=xk, y=yk)
    Gadfly.plot(x=x1,y=y1)
    Gadfly.plot(x=x2,y=y2) # etc.
  end

  # ...
end

Thank you again.
