Since yesterday I've added a couple of new features:
- A "Save As" button to the toolbar so you can easily export your figures
as SVG, PNG, PDF, or PS. (This just uses the Gadfly/Compose writers.)
- The ability to "tweak" a plot after its initial creation. Here's the
setup:
julia> using Immerse, Colors
julia> hfig = figure()
1
julia> x = linspace(0,4pi,101);
julia> p = plot(x=x, y=sin(x), Geom.line(tag=:line))
Then in combination with the REPL's lovely down-arrow capability, I've
found I can amuse myself for hours by cycling through
julia> setproperty!((hfig,:line), rand(1:5), :linewidth)
3
julia> setproperty!((hfig,:line), RGB(rand(),rand(),rand()), :stroke)
RGB{Float64}(0.9563599683564541,0.20964995278692222,0.997388106654052)
julia> setproperty!((hfig,:line), false, :visible)
false
julia> setproperty!((hfig,:line), true, :visible)
true
Enjoy wasting time in the same way I have :-).
