Error adding Vega.jl to Julia REPL (by Pkg.add("Vega")) using Julia 1.2.0

[crash-crush]

Hey,

I have encountered an error by adding the Vega.jl package to the Julia REPL while testing.

This error occurs, occurs in VS Code as well:

julia> Pkg.add("Vega")
`
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:

• Vega (not found in project, manifest or registry)
  Please specify by known name=uuid.

Thanks in Advance,

This is pretty much abandoned due to a lack of interest from the broader community. The specific error you are getting is because Vega.jl isn't registered in the General registry, which is only for packages supporting 1.0+ releases.

What functionality here interests you? Maybe I can suggest an alternative.

That would be nice. I wanted to use this function https://johnmyleswhite.github.io/Vega.jl/heatmap.html in order to update the matrix in an for loop to update the picture with push! or plot! or something. In best case with a wait() function.

Thanks and regards :)

This is the library I’ve worked on since Vega, having the same high-level style. A 2-D histogram should get you what you need https://randyzwitch.com/ECharts.jl/histogram
