Please I’m trying out Luxor
@png begin
text(“Hello world”)
circle(Point(0, 0), 200, action = :stroke)
end
But I get this error:
┌ Error: Hint-handler #41 for MethodError in ImageCore caused an error
└ @ Base.Experimental experimental.jl:321

Hi! Luxor doesn't use Images, and that message is unrelated to anything in Luxor. Try again in a new Julia session, without having too many other packages in your current project.

Yes, it works. Thanks for the feedback
