SVG does not work with Gadfly 1.4.0 and Compose 0.9.5

[jojal5]

The following code does not work with Gadfly 1.4.0 and Compose 0.9.5

using DataFrames, Gadfly, RDatasets
iris = dataset("datasets","iris")
p = plot(iris, x=:SepalLength, y=:PetalLength, color=:Species, Geom.point)
draw(SVG("iris_plot.svg", 14cm, 8cm), p)

It return false.

The false is a byproduct of some Compose function (yes we should track this down and return nothing). What version of Julia are you on? There was a recent issue fixed on Compose.jl#master (GiovineItalia/Compose.jl#441), so try:

]add Compose#master

if you are on a relatively recent version of Julia?

[jojal5]

Thank you for the quick response. I tried it on Julia 1.10.2 and Julia 1.9.4 using Compose.jl#master, but I encountered the same result – it returns false.

I'm assuming your main issue here is that no file was produced? What OS are you on? I'll have to check later to see if I can replicate the issue.

It returns false but the svg file is generated. Thank you for the answer. Does I close this issue ?

[Mattriks]

The false is a more of a Compose issue. You can replicate it by trying any of the examples in the Compose docs. Also you can get rid of it simply by adding: draw(); (a semi-colon after the draw()).

Thank you!
