I just created my first plot in Julia using the VSCode editor, and I’m trying to figure out how to change the appearance of the plot display and the REPL so that they are stacked on top of each other on the right hand side of the screen. To illustrate what I mean, here is what my editor currently looks like:

 ![VSCode_plot](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/a/b/abfeaff12dba3125c29c54ae0c0090cd9729bfa1.png)

I would like to make it look similar to my current setup in Spyder for Python:

 ![Spyder_plot](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/a/f/af021c74e0e19ecaeb690c5556ce69d2434d5a5d.png)

This way I will be able to see the code, the REPL/console, and the plot all at once in a nice and organized way. Is there a way to accomplish this in VSCode?

Other people also had the same goal, but looks like is a VS Code limitation.

Well that’s too bad…For now I am just going to use Atom/Juno, which has lovely window handling.
