I ran a Julia code in Juno by having the file opened and pressing the run button on the left and I expected to see a few figures in the plot window. However, no figures shows up at the plot window. The figures turn up only when I copy and paste the plotting block of the code in the console and enter. Is there anything that I am missing? Thanks!!

Thats the same as in any script you’d call via `julia foo.jl` – no output will be displayed unless you explicitly request it. `display()`ing your plot inside of the script should work though.

Also, for reference:

Thanks for the answer. What is `julia foo.jl`?

Is the following the correct use of `display()`? I mean, by using the handle of figures.

```julia
h = plot(...)
display(h)

```

`julia foo.jl` is the command line invocation for executing the script `foo.jl`. Also, yes, your use of display is correct.

Oh, I see.
