Welcome to the Julia Discourse! Have a look [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/please-read-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757) for tips on writing posts, in particular for formatting the code examples.

I think the problem is that in the terminal (REPL), the result of every line is automatically displayed, so when you run `plot(f, 0, 68292)` it shows the plot. But when you run a code block in VS Code it probably shows only the result of the last line (here the last line has no result: the `println` call writes the message to standard output but then it doesn’t return anything).

You can force the display of an intermediate result with the `display` function:

```julia
plt = plot(f, 0, 6.28292)
display(plt)

```
