Plotting SSD geometries results in an error

[zql2021]

Hello,I'm a beginner in SolidStateDetectors, and I've installed the SolidStateDetectors package and Plots package using the following commands:

using Pkg
pkg"add SolidStateDetectors"
pkg"add Plots"

However, I encountered an issue when trying to create a plot with the error message "MethodError: no method matching mesh(::SolidStateDetectors.ConstructiveSolidGeometry.Polygon{4, Float64}, ::Int32)."
Here is my test code:

using SolidStateDetectors
import SolidStateDetectors.ConstructiveSolidGeometry as CSG
using Plots
T = Float64
#
path_to_example_primitives_config_files = joinpath(dirname(dirname(pathof(SolidStateDetectors))), "examples", "example_primitive_files")
example_primitives_config_filenames = readdir(path_to_example_primitives_config_files)

cfn = joinpath(path_to_example_primitives_config_files, "Box.yaml")
print(open(f -> read(f, String), cfn))
box = CSG.Geometry(T, cfn)
plot(box)

Here are the detailed error info

MethodError: no method matching mesh(::SolidStateDetectors.ConstructiveSolidGeometry.Polygon{4, Float64}, ::Int32)

I'm running this code in a Jupyter Notebook in Visual Studio Code.
I would appreciate any suggestions you can provide to help me resolve this issue. Thank you very much.

I cannot reproduce your error and I obtain the desired plot:

Which version of Plots and SolidStateDetectors are you using?

(run ]st Plots and ]st SolidStateDetectors)

[fhagemann]

So, the error results because some methods expect Int64 explicitly.
Your system might be a 32bit system resulting in integers always being Int32 and therefore not matching the expected type of the function.

To check if that resolves your issue, I would like you to do the following:

• Check out my branch with a possible fix using ]add https://github.com/fhagemann/SolidStateDetectors.jl.git#Int64
• Restart your julia session to load the updated code of SolidStateDetectors
• Try again to compose the desired plot

[fhagemann]

Did you resolve this? @zql2021

[zql2021]

yes! I solve it,thank you very much!

[fhagemann]

How did you solve it? Was it using my branch or something unrelated?

[zql2021]

I didn't use your branch.I eventually found out that there was a problem installing the Plots package, and I solved it by setting ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"]=""
