The best would be to just remove the Plots package from the Julia distribution. It is just a mess (according to the internet and all the other people with the same Qt problem and no real solution in sight). And no I cannot install a newer Qt because in real life people often do not have super user…

Have you tried Makie? https://docs.makie.org/stable/

[image] Schneeschaufel: I have to repeat myself: what is the flagship plotting library for Julia that is supposed to work out of the box on all the major platforms (like matplotlib installed with conda). For me it is Plots, and I’ve been using it happily for some years now. Makie is becoming …

Thanks for the link. No I haven’t heard of Makie. Having a plotting library just for one programming language may cause a whole raft of other problems. That one can use Matplotlib in Julia is not a bad choice. It is just a fact of life that Python and subsequently matplotlib is one of the dominan…

[image] Schneeschaufel: … libQt5Core.so.5: version Qt_5.15 not found (required …) … This tends to indicate either a conflict in libraries, which may be triggered by LD_LIBRARY_PATH as @lmiq pointed out or this could be the consequence of a failed download of one or more artifacts. You didn’t…

I understand your frustration :pray:t2:. But, just to offer some perspective: ggplot2 is a much more widely used plotting library for data exploration in many fields. I would rather walk backwards into a cactus :cactus: with a bare butt than use pyplot as my go-to plotting library. Don’t get me wron…

These issues do pop up from time to time, but they tend to fly under the radar because people will ask about them places like Slack (where you have ephemeral messages, lots of traffic in busy channels like #helpdesk and not many eyes on more obscure channels working against seeing such messages) or …

But isn’t ggplot2 something specific to R? What I meant is was that in Python-numpy land matplotlib is the major player. I have never met anyone who actually likes matplotlib but this is what is mainly being used when people use numpy. Personally I never liked the appearance of R plots. I know a …

Hey @Schneeschaufel — I totally get your frustration. This is something that the Plots.jl (and GR.jl) folks try very hard to make work out of the box for everyone. And yes, in rare situations it doesn’t work. If you want to debug the problems and try to smooth it out (for yourself and potentially…

[image] Schneeschaufel: Why don’t the Julia stewards declare that pyplot shall be the main Julia plotting library? I think you have misunderstood what the goal of the Julia stewards is. You can read about stewardship here Julia Community - Stewards . Declaring what is the “main Julia plotting …

Like the others I’ve never had issues on this across several linux and windows systems, but these things do occur for some people. The great thing about Plots is that it is only a front end with unified syntax for several backends. If you want matplotlib, just add using Plots pyplot() And you can …
