You can’t plot JuMP variables as they are. What you can do is plot the solution values of the JuMP variables.

So if `x` is your JuMP variable, call `x_sol = JuMP.get_value(x)` and then plot `x_sol` instead of `x`.

p.s. when posting questions like this, you should include a reproducible example. Take a read of:
