Hi all,

when trying to layout a plot similar to the the example in the Makie layout tutorial i ran into a problem using the rowgap!() command:  
MethodError: objects of type Int64 are not callable

colgap!() works flawlessly.  
I would be gratful for any advice how to get this working (or any other workarounds to reduce the gaps between the right column plots)

using CairoMakie  
using FileIO

CairoMakie.activate!(inline=false)

fig = Figure(fontsize=15)

g\_a = fig[1:5,1] = GridLayout()  
g\_b = fig[1:5,2] = GridLayout()

ax\_a\_1 = Axis(g\_a[:,1])  
ax\_a\_2 = Axis(g\_a[:,2])  
ax\_b\_1 = Axis(g\_b[1,:])  
ax\_b\_2 = Axis(g\_b[2,:])  
ax\_b\_3 = Axis(g\_b[3,:])  
ax\_b\_4 = Axis(g\_b[4,:])  
ax\_b\_5 = Axis(g\_b[5,:])

colgap!(g\_a, 50)  
rowgap!(g\_b,10)

fig

That’s a strange error for `rowgap!`, maybe you accidentally set `rowgap! = someinteger` and could try to restart your session

Okay, restarting did the trick, thanks 🙂
