Hi There.  
I am a newbie in Julia. I used Atoms as IDE for Julia in one loptop with windows 10 and when I used the code  
julia\> using Plots

julia\> x=1;

julia\> y=2;

julia\> plot(x,y)  
it shows the following error:  
connect: No error  
GKS: can’t connect to GKS socket application

GKS: Open failed in routine OPEN\_WS  
GKS: GKS not in proper state. GKS must be either in the state WSOP or WSAC in routine ACTIVATE\_WS

when I opened the Atoms, the julia logo doesn’t have color and I think that’s why it doesn’t work because I installed the julia and Atoms in another loptop which has windows 7 and it works properly and I could use plot correctly
