"window not defined"

[weberc2]

Hi, I'm new to Julia, but when I run julia> id = figure(height=100, width=100, name="hello"), I get:

ERROR: window not defined
 in figure at /home/someone/.julia/v0.3/Winston/src/Winston.jl:2693

Am I doing something wrong? I'm not getting any information back from my Google searches...

How are you running julia? In a terminal, IJulia, etc.?

In a terminal.

Hmm, weird. I can't reproduce this.

I just installed Julia from the releases apt repo (tonight), grabbed
Winston, and attempted the aforementioned command. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.

I just tried on ubuntu1404 (although using a julia built from source), and didn't see this problem.

You don't see the warning

Selected Winston backend not found. You will not be able to display plots in a window

after using Winston?

This error is showing up on my machine. Details:

running: Julia-0.4.0-dev-f42b2225fe
OS: OSX Mavericks
operating in: IJulia

I get the following error while attempting to execute
figure()

`LoadError: UndefVarError: window not defined
while loading In[19], in expression starting on line 1

in figure at /Users/fdfuller/.julia/v0.4/Winston/src/Winston.jl:2820`

Note: plotting works in IJulia, but I can only ever have one plot. Attempts to open a new plot or close the current plot all fail.

However, in the usual Julia REPL I receive no such error. figure() and closefig() work just fine.

I see similar problem in IJulia.

julia version 0.3.11
Linux (Debian Sid)
IJulia 1.1.7

using figure() causes the "window not defined" error. I do not have any issues with plotting without using figure(), though, I can make as many plots as I want, using plot or FramedPlot. Also, figure() works fine when used form the terminal.
