Does anyone get the Iris Dataset on [Home · Plots](http://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/) running?

Yes. What about it? What errors did you get?

I’m afraid the tutorial is outdated, only the `@df` syntax is supported in [StatPlots](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/StatPlots.jl) now. For example:

```julia
@df iris scatter(:SepalLength, :SepalWidth, group=:Species,
        title = "My awesome plot",
        xlabel = "Length", ylabel = "Width",
        m=(0.5, [:cross :hex :star7], 12),
        bg=RGB(.2,.2,.2))

```

Sounds like a good PR.

Thanks. That’s working now (on the terminal).  
I am using atom as editor and here I keep getting the following error message when _using RDatasets_

> Failed to precompile Missings to user/.julia/lib/v0.6/Missings.ji.

I have added the package _StatPlots_ and _RDatasets_ via the console and _uber-juno_ and _hydrogen_ in nano.  
Also, I am confused by the ending _ji_.

In general: Could it be that there are conflicts between packages I have added (_PyPlot_, _Plots_ etc), eg when I produce plots, some appear distorted. Also it seems like adding _Gadfly_ and _MultivariateStats_ result in some conflicts. Precompiling Gadfly doesn’t seem to work either and results in a similar error message as the one above

> Failed to precompile Gadfly to user/.julia/lib/v0.6/Gadfly.ji.

If anyone has thoughts on that…

Gadfly appears to have a number of conflicts with recently updated packages for Julia 0.6 and 0.7. For that reason as well as a few others, I am no longer using it and have removed it.
