Providing a MWE is the first step in collectively solving a problem here. See the post pinned to the top of the forum when you first land here:

> Welcome to the Julia Discourse! We are enthusiastic about helping Julia programmers, both beginner and experienced. This public service announcement (PSA) outlines best practices when asking for help. Following these points makes it easier for us to help you and more likely you’ll get a prompt, useful answer. Keywords are highlighted to make it easier to refer to specific points. Choose a descriptive title that captures the key part of your question, eg “plots with multiple axes” instead of …

Someone asking for a MWE should not at all be taken as offensive to you at all - it’s the expected request on this forum if you haven’t included one in your first post.

Without an MWE you are asking everyone to reproduce your work by guessing, instead of diving in and trying to understand your problem straight away.

You will get way more help and attention on any topic if you have a MWE.
