Hello! I want to start learning this package, and based on my experience with Python, all the code doesn’t have graphics to display function graphs or images. Is there a way to do this?

Which package are you using?

In Julia, it’s typical to have one package that does some calculations, and another package that draws graphics: the packages should work together.

The JuliaAstro organization put together this handy [package ecosystem](https://juliaastro.org/home/ecosystem/) webpage, take a look there to see if there are any astronomy-focused plotting tools, if not using something like Makie.jl would be a good place to start.

I’m going to code on Julia Astro in Visual Studio Code.
