When I deploy my documentation locally I’m able to get figures appearing in my examples. However when I deploy it on GitLab it does not (see [here](https://ucm.pages.gitlab.kuleuven.be/representativeperiodsfinder.jl/examples/days_re_ordering/)).

I have spent a lot of time just getting the documentation to deploy (lots of issues with `GR` for some reason), so am reluctant to spend more time on this. Any help?

Did you try setting `export GKSwstype=nul` in your build script ?

You can maybe get inspiration from [PlotDocs.jl/ci\_build.sh at master · JuliaPlots/PlotDocs.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/PlotDocs.jl/blob/master/docs/ci_build.sh),  
or [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliaPlots/PlotDocs.jl/master/docs/src/backends.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliaPlots/PlotDocs.jl/master/docs/src/backends.md).

Are the plots command enclosed in a `@example` triple-backticked blocks ?

There are a bunch of errors in the build logs: [pages (#480579) · Jobs · KU Leuven Energy Systems Integration and Modeling group / RepresentativePeriodsFinder.jl · GitLab](https://gitlab.kuleuven.be/UCM/representativeperiodsfinder.jl/-/jobs/480579) . Probably something went wrong before you got to the code producing the plot.

Ah yes, you’re quite right. I think this is due to using the latest julia version, will change that.

Thanks for the quick reply and pointing out the bleeding obvious which I couldn’t see myself!
