Hi All,
I just installed the Julia 1.1 version. However I am not able to display some plot. Here is the sequence that I did::
using PyPlot
subplot(133)
Then it showed me a long list of error message::
2019-05-11 15:10:35.243 julia[1506:86027] -[NSApplication \_setup:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7f98d8e94c60

I am not exactly sure what the problem is. Anyone can help on this??
Cheers,

Your code worked for me. Does it work in directly in Python on your computer?
```python
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> plt.subplots(1,3)
>>> plt.show()
```
It’s possible Matplotlib isn’t properly installed on your system. I have had problems with it in the past although I haven’t done a fresh Linux install in a very long time. If it’s not properly installed you can easily install it in whichever version of python you’re using by following the instructions on the [Matplotlib website](https://matplotlib.org/users/installing.html).
Btw, it’s a bit easier to read if you put code and REPL output in a code block as I did above.

See here for an explanation and possible solution:

I think you are pointing me to the right track. I got everything works temporally and would need to confirm with StevenJ. Thanks.

Thanks. I think It is more related to setting the correct backend for plotting. I think I got it temporally fixed. But thanks for suggestions
