I had some very basic geocode working for plotting a tif file that has recently stopped working.

It’s very basic, from here: [https://www.acgeospatial.co.uk/julia-prt3/](https://www.acgeospatial.co.uk/julia-prt3/)

```julia
using ArchGDAL, Plots, Colors, Images, GeoData
const AG = ArchGDAL

url = "E:\\Riverina\\Riverina-Cropping2.tif"

LLS = AG.readraster(url)

gt = ArchGDAL.getgeotransform(LLS)
p = ArchGDAL.getproj(LLS)

n_rasters = (ArchGDAL.nraster(LLS))

width = ArchGDAL.width(LLS)

```

Each line runs fine until I get to the last line which produces an error:

`ERROR: cannot assign a value to variable Graphics.width from module Main`

Code worked fine previous to a recent update… Anyone have a clue why???

I think it fundamentally comes down to the `Graphics` package exporting a function called `width`, and one of `ArchGDAL, Plots, Colors, Images, GeoData` is re-exporting this when you do `using ArchGDAL, Plots, Colors, Images, GeoData`.

Since you are already adding the namespace (`AG.x` etc.), you can try changing `using` to `import` in the first line.

Also, you cant actually update ArchGDAL using GeoData.jl. It was renamed to Rasters.jl.
