Plotting from within a loop using GR?

The following doesn’t produce any output using Juno and v0.6 of Julia:

histogram(randn(10))

for i = 1:10
	histogram!(randn(10))
end

why is that?

Don’t you need to add TO an existing plot?

p = histogram(randn(10))

for i in 1:10 
  histogram!(p, randn(10))
end

p

yields

GR:

using GR
inline("atom")
for i in 1:100
  histogram(randn(10000))
end

Plots + gr():

using Plots
gr()
for i in 1:100
  display(histogram(randn(10000)))
end

If you plot from within a loop using Plots, I believe you have to call the function gui() in the end of the loop for the results to be displayed.

If you add to a plot within a loop, no plot object is returned and thus nothing is shown. Another alternative to the above advices is returning the current plot object with current() after the loop:

histogram(randn(10))
for i in 1:10
    histogram!(randn(10))
end
current()

maybe this discussion helps:

This do help! I applied it to plot from within two nested for loop in a function.

function bala()
 for i
    for j
        if
          plot ()
        else
          plot!()
       end
     end
   end
 return current() #return the plot!!!!
 end

so I can do

p1=func() #this allow it to be used as subplot

Thank you!

You can also try calling display() on the output of the plot within the loop. That’s what I’ve been doing.

Thank you! I was searching for this.
