title: How to show graph in Atom using PyPlot
body: <p>I am using Julia in Atom on a MacBook Pro and I do not succeed in getting a plot Window within or outside Atom when I use PyPlot.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the package status :</p>
  
  <p>....</p>
  
  <p>(v1.1) pkg> status</p>
  
  <pre><code>Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.1/Project.toml`
  
  [c52e3926] Atom v0.8.2
  
  [7073ff75] IJulia v1.18.0
  
  [e5e0dc1b] Juno v0.7.0
  
  [d330b81b] PyPlot v2.8.0
  
  [ade2ca70] Dates 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <p>I try the following code :</p>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <pre><code>using PyPlot
  
  plot(rand(10))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <p>And I get :</p>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <pre><code>1-element Array{PyCall.PyObject,1}:
  
  PyObject &lt;matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x12963c9e8&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>....</p>
  
  <p>If I try :</p>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <pre><code>plt.show()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <p>I get :</p>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <p>/Users/Didier/.julia/conda/3/lib/python3.7/sitepackages/matplotlib/figure.py:445: UserWarning: Matplotlib is currently using agg, which is a non-GUI backend, so cannot show the figure.
    % get_backend())</p>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <p>There are plenty discussions about Backends with PyPlot (i.e. Matplotlib inside Julia) but nowhere I found a rationale to modify the backend used by Matplotlib within Atom.</p>
  
  <p>Does somebody have a clear idea about this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
