I'm currently working through this tutorial and I'm having trouble getting the png image to display. This is my program.

using DataFrames
using Gadfly

train_df = readtable("winequality-red.csv", separator=';')

_, count = hist(train_df["quality"])
class = sort(unique(train_df["quality"]))
value_counts = DataFrame(count=count, class=class)
#value_counts

p = plot(value_counts, x="class", y="count", Geom.bar(), Guide.title("Class distributions (\"quality\")"))
draw(PNG(14cm, 10cm), p)

the error I get is

LoadError("C:/Users/John/Desktop/helloworld.jl",12,MethodError(PNG,(140.0mm,100.0mm)))

I've tried some of the things mentioned in this discussion, however I haven't made any observable progress.

I was able to solve my problem by installing Cairo. 

Pkg.add("Cairo")

and changing this line

draw(PNG(14cm, 10cm), p)

to

draw(PNG("chart.png", 14cm, 10cm), p)

and then opening chart.png with Julia Studio

  • I used draw(PNG("neuroplot.png", 14cm, 10cm), NeuroPlot) for example and I got this ERROR: Cairo must be installed to use the PNG backend. in PNG at C:\Users\ra133513\.julia\v0.3\Compose\src\Compose.jl:124 – lbenitesanchez Sep 27 '14 at 22:36
