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:

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

```

I get the output:

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

```

This is the information of the installed packages

```julia

I hope someone can help, thanks in advance

Does

```julia
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?

So `REPL.REPLDisplay{REPL.LineEditREPL}` and `Plots.PlotsDisplay()` are missing

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](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
