I would like to create multiple plots in a loop within Pluto. The question is related to [Plot inside a loop again[, but now in Pluto]](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/plot-inside-a-loop-again-but-now-in-pluto/49295).

This works as expected in Jupyter, but not in Pluto.

```julia
using Plots

for i in 1:3
    display(plot(rand(10)))
end

```

Is it possible to do the same in Pluto? Is this related to the [Multiple outputs and inputs per cell](https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl/issues/7)?

Keep in mind that I am new to Pluto (and Julia) and the answer might be obvious.

Do you want to have separate plots or multiple lines in the same plot?

Sorry, I was not clear enough. I want separate plots.

The easiest way is to make an array of plots!

```julia
plots = [plot(rand(100)) for i=1:3]

```

Yes.

You can do it in Ploto by

```julia
plot((plot(rand(100)) for i=1:3)...;
	size = default(:size) .* (1, 3), layout = (3, 1), left_margin = 5Plots.mm)

```

or

```julia
let
	n = 3
	PP = []
	for i in 1:n
		P = plot(rand(100))
		push!(PP, P)
	end
	plot(PP...; size = default(:size) .* (1, n), layout = (n, 1), left_margin = 5Plots.mm)
end

```

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, @genkuroki.
