Error using StatPlots

muriloasouza · July 19, 2018, 3:37pm

Hello, there! I’m trying to use the StatPlots package to plot some grouped bar graphics using the
groupedbar function. As can be seen in this picture that i got from their Github page.

673f6c78-863d-11e6-9ee9-8ca104e5d2a3

Basically, this is my code:

workspace()

using StatPlots

Dbefore = [0.2410; 4.6709; 4.7775; 4.9210; 4.9397; 5.0426; 5.0677; 5.2084; 5.2080; 4.7775; 5.8069; 6.3106; 6.3101; 7.5012; 7.9857;8.3787; 8.3786];
Dafter = [0.1192; 2.3108; 2.4009; 2.4932; 2.4922; 2.4441; 2.4702; 2.6176; 2.6173; 2.4009; 2.8985; 3.1818; 3.1925; 4.2242; 4.6714; 5.0027; 5.0027];

groupedbar([Dbefore Dafter], bar_position = :dodge, bar_width=0.7)

But i’m getting this error:

ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: MethodError: all(::Reexport.##2#6, ::Array{Any,1}) is ambiguous. Candidates:

Any help fixing this would be trully apreciated!

The workspace() command is deprecated in latest Julia as it’s known to cause issues. I think it simply cannot be used in combination with StatPlots. The same code without workspace() should work. If you’re used to the workspace() command from other languages (say close all; clear all in matlab), I’m not too sure what is the recommended alternative in Julia.

muriloasouza · July 20, 2018, 11:01am

Yeah, i was using it because i came from Matlab… thats bad to hear.

Well, i tried without it, and got this error now:

ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: Cannot `convert` an object of type Type{Any} to an object of type Abs
tractFloat
This may have arisen from a call to the constructor AbstractFloat(...),
since type constructors fall back to convert methods.

I’m unable to reproduce it. To clarify, if you start Julia and give the command:

using StatPlots

Dbefore = [0.2410; 4.6709; 4.7775; 4.9210; 4.9397; 5.0426; 5.0677; 5.2084; 5.2080; 4.7775; 5.8069; 6.3106; 6.3101; 7.5012; 7.9857;8.3787; 8.3786];
Dafter = [0.1192; 2.3108; 2.4009; 2.4932; 2.4922; 2.4441; 2.4702; 2.6176; 2.6173; 2.4009; 2.8985; 3.1818; 3.1925; 4.2242; 4.6714; 5.0027; 5.0027];

groupedbar([Dbefore Dafter], bar_position = :dodge, bar_width=0.7)

you get an error?

What’s your Pkg.status() ?

muriloasouza · July 20, 2018, 11:44am

Actually, no. If i start Julia and just type that, it works. But when i run my code, it doesn’t.

Here the status:

By the way, in the last error i posted here, it says it starts on the line 195. That line, is the last line of my code, wich is:

groupedbar([Dbefore Dafter], bar_position = :dodge, bar_width=0.7)

If i remove the using StatPlots and groupedbar([Dbefore Dafter], bar_position = :dodge, bar_width=0.7) commands, my code works fine. But when i add them, i get that error.

piever · July 20, 2018, 12:42pm

I think what may be happening is that instead of Vector{Float64} you’re getting Vector{Any} inside your code (for Dbefore and Dafter). you could try:

groupedbar(convert(Array{Float64}, [Dbefore Dafter]), bar_position = :dodge, bar_width=0.7)

and see if that fixes it. If that’s the case I’d also recommend figuring it out why you got Vector{Any} in the first place. For performance reasons (and to be able to call functions from other packages), it’d be much better to work with Vector{Float64}.

muriloasouza · July 20, 2018, 1:00pm

Yes, that was the problem. My Dbefore was Vector{Any} while the Dafter was Vector{Float64}

Thanks for your help piever!

EDIT: So, i tried running my code again (after it worked once with that convert function as a parameter for the groupedbar), and i’m getting this error now:

It says groupedbar is not defined. Really odd, since i got the using StatPlots at the start of my code…

muriloasouza · July 23, 2018, 2:20pm

Hello everyone!

Today i had to update some packages in Atom (ink to 0.9.0, julia-client to 0.7.0, and other i can’t recall now). After the update, i’m not getting more error when using the workspace() and using StatPlots commands. But when i run my code, my graphic doesn’t appear in the Plot Tab.
