Very basic question, but I’ve spent all afternoon looking for an answer. I want to make a cross-platform desktop application and I thought I’d try Blink.jl. I can run the example and create a hello world program appearing in a window. How do I make a plot in it?

If you use plotting code that generates SVG or PNG output, you should be able to display it by stuffing it into HTML blocks as is done in [ElectronDisplay](https://github.com/queryverse/ElectronDisplay.jl/blob/master/src/ElectronDisplay.jl)
