Plotting problems with Mac M1

New to Julia

Hi All,

I’m migrating to a Mac M1. I’ve installed julia 1.8.5 (2023-01-08) from julialang.org. Added my favorite packages using Pkg, among which is Plots.jl.

This input in the REPL:

    using Plots
    gr();
    x = [0:pi/100:2*pi;];
    y = sin.(x);
    plot(x,y)

gives me this output:

    Plot{Plots.GRBackend() n=1}

but no actual plot. I assume there’s some simple piece missing, but I have no idea where to begin. Help?

Thanks,
-Eric

I can’t add much other than to say that I tested your inputs in a REPL on my M1 MBP and it worked as expected. I got the plot in a new window and did not get the “Plot{Plots.GRBackend() n=1}”

I wish I could help more but I have just started down this road as well.

Did you get any messages when installing the packages? Running your code on my M1 yields

running on

So, what does ] status report? (or, to be precise ] switches to package mode and on pkg> you type status).

Hm, mainly fishing in the dark, what does removing and adding Plots again report? Or Plots and GR? Usually adding/rebuliding packages should do the binding to the window manager and such, but I (on my M1) never had, that that failed and for now a main thing would try to find an error message somewhere.
