[BUG] Typo in plot labels for one of the examples

[torusctyi]

Description:
The plot for '1D Gaussian Distribution' has a typo. It actually reads '1D Guassian Distribution'

The image with the typo can be seen here

Fix:
The typo is caused by line 25 of the file plotters/examples/normal-dist2.rs

I'm having trouble reproducing the plot after downloading the repository to my own machine.

I got cargo build and cargo test to run fine after downloading necessary dependencies as discussed in this issue for the Servo project. (In fact, this issue was the first result I found when I googled the first error message ).

However, running cargo --example normal-dist2 produces no plot, though the code actually executes.

I then tried downloading the git repository for the documentation. As before, I was able to compile it successfully. But running cargo run --bin 2_9_vbar produced no plot as before.

First, thanks for reporting the typo issue. I was running a type checker for the entire repo. And it fix lot more.

Also, for the normal-dist2 example, the file is produced at plotters-doc-data/normal-dist2.png
For the documentation one, it should under image/2.9.png. Just in case you didn't find it.

If the output is still missing, could you please give me some more details. Is the program crashed or panicked, any error message, etc.

Thanks!

I found the images files where you said they would be.

I assumed that a window was supposed to open with the image displayed. When nothing appeared, I thought they were being sent to /dev/null instead or something

You might save yourself a lot of time in future if you modify the code in the examples so that when an image is saved, a note is written to stderr along the lines of 'Image saved to such and such a location'. I have a feeling I won't be the last person complaining that no images are appearing otherwise lol.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just curios one more thing, do you think if putting your question to the FAQ list would help?

[torusctyi]

It'd be a good idea IMHO.

As long as we are constantly improving the documentation and seems nothing more we can actually do, closing this issue.
