Problems with level curves

New to Julia
1

Dear all
I have the following code to plot the level curves:

using Plots
plotly()
import Contour: contours, levels, level, lines, coordinates
f(x,y) = y^2 + x^2
xs = ys = range(-5, stop=5, length=100)
contour(xs, ys, f,level=2)

but several level curves are presented. See the figure below.

level
(I want only on level 2).
How can I fix this?
On my computer, does not work the package Pyplot.

The syntax is

contour(xs, ys, f, levels=[2], ratio=1)

If you want several levels, use
levels = [2.1, 2.2]

This definitely works with GR; last time I tried with Plotly I’m not sure that it did.

Thank you for the response.
However, when I run

using Plots
import Contour: contours, levels, level, lines, coordinates
xs = range(-5, stop=5, length=100)
ys = range(-5, stop=5, length=100)
f(x,y) = x^2+y^2#0.5*(0.8*x^2+2*x*y+2*y^2) - x - 2*y
contour(xs, ys, f,levels=[2 3],ratio=1)

I don’t have two levels curves (only one at a wrong level). See below.
level
Could you like to help me please?

I think you only have to add a , between the levels.

Also importing explicitly those packages does not seem necessary, at least for your mwe:

julia> using Plots

julia> xs = range(-5, stop=5, length=100)
-5.0:0.10101010101010101:5.0

julia> ys = range(-5, stop=5, length=100)
-5.0:0.10101010101010101:5.0

julia> f(x,y) = x^2+y^2#0.5*(0.8*x^2+2*x*y+2*y^2) - x - 2*y
f (generic function with 1 method)

julia> contour(xs, ys, f,levels=[1, 2, 3, 10, 15, 30],ratio=1)

In you computer works?
Could you show me the figure?
I add “,” but yet not work.
My gr() has a problem.

When I add a comma, the error appears:

Seems that you are using the Plotly backend there for some reason.

Do you see the problem after restarting Julia and copying exactly the same commands I have provided there?

If so, maybe GR is not installed for some strange reason, and Plots is falling back to Plotly.

Thank you for teh response again.
I have re-started.
When I run exactly your commands

using Plots
xs = range(-5, stop=5, length=100)
ys = range(-5, stop=5, length=100)
f(x,y) = x^2+y^2
contour(xs, ys, f,levels=[1, 2, 3, 10, 15, 30],ratio=1)

the Julia restart misteriously and appears the errors message:

Other graphics works very well. Only level curves fail.
Could you help me please? Thanks!

There is something broken in your installation. The only thing I can suggest is to remove completely Plots and GR and install them again.
