Windows 10 LoadError print_escaped not defined

[madenu]

I am having a problem similar to issue #283.

I have installed Winston and done a Pkg.update(), but every time I start a Julia REPL session, I get a LoadError when I try to use the package. What is the print_escape?

Also, plots are not being automatically displayed.

What version of Winston are you using?

[madenu]

It's the one that I got from doing a Pkg.add("Winston"). I think I'm using v0.13.1.

julia> Pkg.status("Winston")
 - Winston                       0.13.1

Okay, thanks for checking. The issue seems actually to be with the Tk package, which is a dependency of Winston, rather than with Winston itself.

Reported in Tk at JuliaGraphics/Tk.jl#140.

My computer run Windows. I did the following:

In c:\Users\...\.julia\v0.6\Tk\src there is a source tkwidget.jl written in Julia. There do the follow replacements.

1. Replace print_escaped (depreciated) by escape_string.
2. Replace takebuf_string(b) (depreciated) by String(take!(b)) where b is any parameter.

After that Winston works like a charm.

Example:

using Winston
plot(rand(100))
