Topic: ✔ Plots with GR creates popups for each plot


view this post on Zulip pg. (Jul 20 2021 at 16:31):

Whenever I use Plots.jl with the GR backend, for each savefig or frame (used for animations) call I get a popup window in the focused workspace.

For one or two plots, this is fine. However, when doing a lot of plots or animations, my computer becomes almost unusable while Julia is plotting. Is there a workaround for this besides using another backend?

I havn't encountered this problem myself, but if you share additional information, maybe someone can find an answer.

What OS are you using? Windows, Linux or Mac?
And what is written on popups? Is it some kind of error message?

This is on Linux, but I remember it occuring on windows also. Nope no error message, just a window pops up and then disappears quickly. It is so fast that I cannot tell what is on it. It is as if GR opens a window whenever it renders.

does a semi-colon ; at the end of the line remove the pop-up?

So it actually stopped happening.. and I have no idea why. It's been bothering me for months, only made a post now because I am working on a
project that needs a lot of animations, and somehow, a day afterwards it's solved. :sweat_smile:
