using Gadfly and PyPlot at the same time

[Andrei Berceanu]

Hi guys,

when I do

using Gadfly, PyPlot

i get

Warning: using PyPlot.plot in module Main conflicts with an existing identifier.

And other warning of the same type. How can I solve this?

Hello colleague,

I guess to solve this, you need to work on the packages (or even the julia logic for exporting). Still you should be able to use (as this is a warning only) both .plot by prefixing Gadly.plot and PyPlot.plot.

To get rid of name clashed you could e.g. also say

import Gadfly
using PyPlot

Like this "plot" will refer to PyPlot.plot, and you can use "Gadfly.plot" anytime you need Gadfly's plot.

You can find more info here: http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.3/manual/modules/#summary-of-module-usage

ok so now im doing import PyPlot, but have some problems with the latex axis labels

this used to work before
ax[:set_xlabel](L"$\kappa$")
while now it gives

@L_str not defined
so i tried
ax[:set_xlabel](PyPlot.L"$\kappa$")
which gives
syntax: invalid interpolation syntax: "\"

you could try

   using LaTeXStrings 

to pull in the L_str macro separately from PyPlot.   (I'm not sure if there is any nice syntax for using unimported string macros.)
