Plot doesn't render on JupyterLab with GR backend

[roblesch]

I am new to Julia and following the quantecon materials. Trying to plot a simple sine function results in the following:

I am on Ubuntu 18.04 running Julia 0.6.4. I is this possibly an issue of a missing dependency, or perhaps a Jupyter versioning issue? Let me know if there is a more appropriate place for discussion. Thank you.

Plots show correctly on Jupyter notebooks, this issue only occurs when using JupyterLab. Updating issue title

[mkborregaard]

This is using the plotly backend? There is an issue with registering the plotly output in jupyter lab afaik

[roblesch]

This happens using the gr backend. Though thanks to your tip I was able to get it working with pyplot and plotly :smile:

Oh - it works for me, though.

Could you paste versioninfo() and ] st?

It doesn't seem that I can use ] st since I'm on 0.6.4, but here is the output of my Pkg.status():

Ah it might be a version thing. I should say we're unlikely to push a fix that will work on 0.6, Plots is 1.x -only going forward.
