Julia packages Tk and PyPlot don't like each other. The following code produces a crash of the REPL:
using Tk using PyPlot plot() With the following error message: Fatal Python error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate > signal (6): Aborted > gsignal at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (unknown line) > abort at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (unknown line) > unknown function (ip: 0x7f8ecc66ed0e) > PyEval_RestoreThread at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so (unknown > line) > unknown function (ip: 0x7f8eb569efc5) > TclInvokeStringCommand at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcl8.6.so (unknown > line) > TclNRRunCallbacks at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcl8.6.so (unknown line) > unknown function (ip: 0x7f8ece5a3050) > TclServiceIdle at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcl8.6.so (unknown line) > Tcl_DoOneEvent at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcl8.6.so (unknown line) > tcl_doevent at /home/bernd/.julia/v0.4/Tk/src/tkwidget.jl:20 > tcl_doevent at /home/bernd/.julia/v0.4/Tk/src/tkwidget.jl:20 > jlcall_tcl_doevent_21208 at (unknown line) > jl_apply_generic at /home/bernd/bin/julia/usr/bin/../lib/libjulia.so > (unknown line) > anonymous at stream.jl:693 > unknown function (ip: 0x7f90edc7fa34) > unknown function (ip: (nil)) > Aborted Not sure if this is a bug or unavoidable, probably PyPlot internally uses Tk(?). One a side note, does anybody know if it is possible in a single program to draw on a canvas in Tk AND use a plotting window to plot some data? I am running a cellular automata (think Game of Life), use Tk to visualize the state of the automata, but now want to plot some additional functions and statistics of the running simulation.
