I currently use `PyPlot.jl` a lot to make some plots for my bachelor’s thesis. I do not use the juno plot pane, however, it opens everytime `figure()` is called, so I decided to disable it in the `julia-client` package settings.

![Screenshot_2018-08-17_11-17-04](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/f/0/f083c362814305d3474aed435f28687c93edc2c3.png)

However, this option seems to have no effect – the plot pane still opens. Is there any way to actually disable it?

What version of Julia are you using?

Forgot to mention it, but it is working correctly now — I noticed earlier today that my `Atom.jl` and `Juno.jl` were both still pointing to some branch in the git repo when I had the plot pane problems. Apparently, I have to start caring for my packages more 🙂
