I am just learning to use the IDE and Julia itself. I have managed to get Plots & PyPlot to work from a script. However, I can’t get a graph in a new window; gui(img) doesn’t seem to do anything. Also, I am having no luck at all with loading and viewing a .jpg file. In particular, no matter what packages I install and use, Julia keeps insisting that imgshow() doesn’t exist. Can somebody send me a script that actually opens and shows a .jpg file - preferably in a new window?

Please provide a minimal reproducible example of what you have tried, and include the error message.

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to help. This is using the REPL:

First I ran

Pkg.add(“Images”)  
Pkg.add(“TestImages”)  
Pkg.add(“ImageView”)  
Pkg.update()

Then

img = testimage(“mandrill”)  
imshow(img)

(I was trying to follow the instructions on the JuliaImages github page)

This is what Julia produced:

I am new at this, but there appears to be a problem in (at least) one of the Packages.

Thanks again for your help.

Please report the version of Julia are you using (`versioninfo()`) and which version of the Images package (`Pkg.status("Images")`). Have you done `Pkg.update()` recently?

Julia version 0.8.0

Images version 0.5.14

and yes, I did a Pkg.update() just before I generated the error message that I sent to you.

And I don’t know if I mentioned, I’m running 64 bit Windows 10.

Thanks for the help

Julia 0.8.0 does not exist. It is best just to directly post the whole output of `versioninfo()`.

That version of `Images` is now old. If you already did `Pkg.update()`, there may be some other package restricting `Images` to this version. One solution would be to delete the `.julia` directory (where packages are stored, which lives in your home directory) and reinstall the packages you need (e.g. by copying the REQUIRE file in `.julia/v0.5` and putting it back once you have reinitialised the package directory).

Sorry for the typo. It’s Julia vers 0.5.0.

I will try your suggestion. Thank you.

My computer run Windows, my version is updated (0.6.2). I did the following:

In `c:\Users\...\.julia\v0.6\Tk\src` there is a source `tkwidget.jl` written in Julia. There do the follow replacements.

1. Replace `print_escaped` (depreciated) by `escape_string`.
2. Replace `takebuf_string(b)` (depreciated) by `String(take!(b))` where b is any parameter.

After that `Winston` works like a charm.

Example:

```julia
using Winston
plot(rand(100))

```
