Probably stupid plotting question in regards to saving figures

I do not understand why my following code does not work:

#crit_theta.jl
using Plots

deg = 5
rad = deg/360 * 3.14159
a = 0.15
α = -0.9
f(x) = ((tand(x)-tand(deg))/a)^α

plt = plot(f,
           5.1,
           15,
           title = "Bed height vs. critical angle",
           xlabel = "Critical angle θ",
           ylabel = "Dimensionless height h/d",
           xlims = (4,15),
           ylims = (0,25),
           legend = false
           )

savefig(plt,"height_v_theta.png")
~

When I run this, I get the following error:

ERROR: MethodError: objects of type Tuple{Plots.Plot{Plots.GRBackend}, String} are not callable
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ REPL[29]:1

If I comment out the line for savefig, everything runs fine. Furthermore if I just type plt in the repl my plot displays perfectly. I am doubly confused because I thought savefig specifically took objects of type Tuple{Plots.Plot{Plots.GRBackend}, String}…am I missing something super obvious?

Works on my side.

height_v_theta

What version of Julia / Plots are you using?

Good to know I’m not missing something obvious. I am running Julia 1.6.2 and my Plots package is version 1.21.3

Same version of Julia, but I am using Plots 1.22.1. They might have changed the order of the savefig arguments at some point. Can you try updating it to 1.22.1?

That fixed it. I’ll make sure to update all my packages before I post a question next time. Thanks for the help :slight_smile:
