MakieOutput Unknown error

[nicolasmerino41]

Hi,

I've been using MakieOutput and it works fine when used as the default visualisation (e.g.):

output = MakieOutput(
    reverse(init, dims=2);
    tspan = tspan, 
    ruleset = ruleset, 
    fps = 100) 

However, I cannot manage to make it work in the personalized fashion:

output = MakieOutput(init; tspan, ruleset) do layout, frame, t
      image!(Axis(layout[1, 1]), frame; interpolate=false, colormap=:inferno)
  end

I always get the same error:
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching (::var"#37#38")(::DynamicGridsMakieExt.MakieSim)

The stacktrace shows ::var"#37#38" is associated to the f:: keyword:

Stacktrace:

MakieOutput(; frames::Vector{…}, running::Bool, extent::Extent{…}, ruleset::Ruleset{…}, extrainit::Dict{…}, interactive::Bool, figure::Figure, layout::GridLayout, inputgrid::GridLayout, f::var"#37#38", graphicconfig::Nothing, simdata::Nothing, ncolumns::Int64, sim_kw::@NamedTuple{}, slider_kw::@NamedTuple{}, kw::Base.Pairs{…}) at DynamicGridsMakieExt.jl

I've found f to be f=_plot! by default but I don't know what other arguments it can take nor if the solution lies there.

Ps: I have tried the example in the documentation and it throws the exact same error so idk.
Here the example for ease:

ruleset = Ruleset(Life())
# And the time-span for it to run
tspan = 1:100
# Create our own plots with Makie.jl
output = MakieOutput(rand(Bool, 200, 300); tspan, ruleset) do layout, frame, t
    image!(Axis(layout[1, 1]), frame; interpolate=false, colormap=:inferno)
end

Thank you,
Nico

Hi Nico, Yes I think I've changed the code as I've been using it (another reason I haven't registered it yet...)

But there are a bunch of complicated multi-window examples here in my PhD script mess:
https://github.com/rafaqz/MauritiusExtinctions/blob/master/makie.jl

And this code works for me:

ruleset = Ruleset(Life())
# And the time-span for it to run
tspan = 1:100
# Create our own plots with Makie.jl
output = MakieOutput(rand(Bool, 200, 300); tspan, ruleset) do (; layout, frame)
    image!(Axis(layout[1, 1]), frame; interpolate=false, colormap=:inferno)
end

I made it so it passes a single object, the (; layout, frame) is property destructuring where before they were separate arguments.

(I'm going to make a new documentation + makie fixes PR, thanks for the motivation)

Ok I've pushed some more accurate docs to dev and fixed a few things

Awesome! Very much appreciated, I'm really banking on the cesar framework for my PhD project :)
