No output in Atom plot pane or gui in both julia 0.7 and 1.0

Hi, with both julia 0.7 and 1.0 I can make graphs from the REPL but whenever I try to do it from Atom, there’s no output in the Plot pane nor I can open the gui windows, neither with GR or PyPlot.

However, the graphs are generated and can be saved into a file but can’t be displayed in the Plot Pane, when I try to do:

display(plot(1:10,1:10,m=:o,leg=false))

I get the output:

BoundsError: attempt to access 0-element Array{AbstractDisplay,1} at index [0]

This is the information of the installed packages

I hope someone can help, thanks in advance

Does

using GR
plot(rand(10))

work in your Atom installation?

Hi, thanks for your response.
Yes, I’ve just tried that and it shows the output in the Plot pane, however the problem persists if I do the same with PyPlot

I have the same problem. I temporarily solved it by uncheck “Enable plot pane” in julia-client package.

If you eval Base.Multimedia.displays in an editor, do you get the following or something different?

When I evaluate Base.Multimedia.displays I get the output:
image
So REPL.REPLDisplay{REPL.LineEditREPL} and Plots.PlotsDisplay() are missing

7

That’s not working for me either, when I uncheck “Enable plot pane” I just get the output Plot{Plots.GRBackend() n=1} at the console but no image

Aha! The “problem” is that you’re using the “Legacy Console” option in the julia-client settings. Please switch to the REPL based console and try again.

This actually is a problem in Plots.jl, but switching the console style will work around it. Nvm. Do let me know if that helped though.

Yep, that did the trick,now I have image output in the plots pane with both the GR and PyPlot backends, however with the GR backend I have the “tiny plot problem” which, as https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/1738#issuecomment-425873484 says I guess is not going to be solved on 0.7.
Thanks for your help, I would’ve never thought that was the “problem”

Hmm interesting, This sounds a lot like the issue I had and we discussed yesterday on slack. My console has always been REPL based though
