I’m trying to construct an array of plots and then plot them all on a grid. I initialize the array like this:

`plots = Array{Plots.Plot{Plots.GRBackend}}(undef,10)`

and populate the array inside a loop like this:

`plots[i] = myplot`

Then I try to splat out the plots inside the plot command:

`plot(plots...,layout = (3,3))`

but I get an undefinedReference error. But I can do:

`plot(plots[1],plots[2],plots[3]...,layout = (3,3))`

which is not great if you have a lot of plots.

I assume you generate 9 plots and save it in an array of length 10.  
Probably the undefined value in the array makes problems.

Feeling stupid… I initialized the array to have 10 elements and then only populated the first 9.
