Correct way to plot in Juno pane

New to Julia

I can’t get the plot pane to work in Juno/Atom. gr(); plot(...) just opens a separate window. I came across a topic which said you have to use plotlyjs, so I installed it, but when I run plotlyjs() I get the following error:

I came across various topics on Discourse about how the plots pane doesn’t work anymore. I also saw something about this being a WebIO issue. I don’t know if those things are related.

The plots pane is expected to work - do you have it enabled in the julia-client settings?

Other than that it’s hard to say what’s happening without more info - are you on the latest version of all relevant Julia and Atom packages?

Yes, I have the plots pane enabled.

Juno: 0.12.6
Julia: 1.5.3
Atom: 1.53.0
Electron: 6.1.12
Plots 1.9.1
Atom (Julia package): 0.12.27
IJulia: 1.23.0
JLD: 0.10.0
Juno (Julia package): 0.8.4
PlotlyJS: 0.14.0

I put all the packages I think are relevant. Also, I’m on Windows 10 if that is relevant.

By Juno I presume you mean julia-client? What about ink (Atom package)? And what is Electron?

Other than that I don’t see any obvious issue - I am running the exact same versions of everything you’ve got, also on Win10, and am seeing this:

I was attempting to plot from the REPL. After seeing your code I thought to try running a file instead. Voila plots window magically starts working. Oddly, the REPL now plots to the pane as well, so first ctrl+enter running a Julia file jiggered some config file somewhere. Thank you for your insights.

BTW I think Juno is the official name for julia-client + Atom editor. See https://junolab.org/. Electron is the JS browser engine that Atom is built on.
