How to choose a plotting package?

does now return a in a script. However, this means that plot(…) doesn’t actually return anything to show in a script.

So the next thing we should do is make sure it works for you inside of a script. Once again, I’ll use Plotly since it should always be working (if you have a working web browser). Now put

display(plot(rand(10,10)))```

inside of a .jl file. Inside of the REPL, do include("filename.jl") (use pwd() to make sure you're in the right directory, and cd("...") around if you need to). This should display the plot.

hi Cris

plot(rand(10,10))```
works fine now, not only in the REPL but also in a file .jl called the way you said, i.e. with `ìnclude("")` in the REPL.
and : 
```using Plots; plotly()
display(plot(rand(10,10)))```
works fine too this way.

ps i precize that i do as in the terminal, i.e. i just type `include("` and then i drag the file from the finder to the position of the cursor to have the absolute path.

now think i can work…

thanks very much

Ps Plotly isn't free ? https://plot.ly/
