newbie documentation needed! - How to run the examples.... about makiegallery.jl HOT 4 CLOSED

I don't think MakieGallery was intended to be used in the REPL :)...you could, of course, poke around in the source code, but I think the best way to replicate examples would be to look at the latest docs. If you put in using Makie before each one, and ignore the 'record' bits at the end of the interactive examples, you should be able to replicate the examples. The docs are generated from MakieGallery.

from makiegallery.jl.

thanks, I don't feel quite so stupid now....

It was actually intended to be used in the repl :D Just never documented and polished it (so still no need to feel stupid^^)
You can use it like this:

julia> using MakieGallery
julia> database = MakieGallery.load_database();
julia> database[1].title # can be used e.g. for filter(x-> x.title == "...", database)
"Tutorial simple scatter"
julia> database[1] # pretty printing :) 
...
 x = rand(10)
 y = rand(10)
 colors = rand(10)
 scene = scatter(x, y, color = colors)
...
julia> using Makie
julia> MakieGallery.eval_example(database[1]) # run it!

from makiegallery.jl.

Fixed by #29, functionality added in #33 as well.
