```julia
using GR
x=0:0.1:100
y=sin.(x)
xlim=([0,120])
ylim=([-1.5,1.5])
plot(x,y)

```

why does it wrong?thanks!

Hi,  
Your example works for me on Julia 1.4. Maybe GR was updated between 1.3 and 1.4 and now it exports the `plot` function?  
How did you run the code? Shift-Enter line by line? I see you haven’t saved your file.  
Can you try `GR.plot(x,y)?`  
Anyway, GR is used as a backend for plotting. You usually want to use:

```julia
using Plots
gr() # or plotly()
plot(1:100)

```

Please avoid posting screenshots. Quoted code/errors is more than enough.
