tiny plots

[dorn-gerhard]

Since two days I experienced the standard Plots to be rather small is this a Pluto issue or has this to do with gr or some graphical backend?

Hi Gerhard!

Can you move using Plots to its own cell and see if that changes the result? Can you post the result of:

import Pkg

Text(sprint(io -> Pkg.status(;io=io)))

Update Pluto if it is not the latest version

[dorn-gerhard]

Hey Fons :)

Sure, here it is (same tiny plot): I hope my used packages do not interfer somehow, but I do not have so many in use.

I also experienced the tiny plots in the PlutoSliderServer applications, some (maybe previously computed) graphs are large while others a tiny: https://captain-bayes.github.io/bayes-imoox/notebooks/random_dice.html

I experienced the same problem and forcing Plots to use PyPlot changed the size to a larger plot.

Not sure if it's related to GR itself, but it's a coincidence that using Interact.jl the same thing happens.

I experienced the same problem after an update. I did some investigating, and it seems that my version of GR.jl got downgraded to a quite old version. Explicitly doing Pkg.add("GR"); Pkg.update() and then restarting Pluto fixed it for me.

I am having the same problem

@hofmannmartin @dorn-gerhard Did https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl/issues/1207#issuecomment-851651357 fix your problem?

[fonsp]

@dorn-gerhard Before updating GR, could you copy paste the output from Pkg.status and post it here? The screenshot you sent only contains part of the output.

If anyone else has this problem, it would be very helpful if you would run https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl/issues/1207#issuecomment-851516036 and copy-paste the result here.

@jheinen Any ideas?

[hofmannmartin]

@hofmannmartin @dorn-gerhard Did #1207 (comment) fix your problem?

yes it did. Currently using it as a workaround.

yes it did. Currently using it as a workaround.

Why is this considered a workaround? It was likely that some of your packages are not on the appropriate versions, and there's nothing on Pluto side that can really deal with it.

Yes, adding GR as package solved the problem, so I updated GR to the latest version (GR v0.52 -> v0.57.5): grafik

Then I removed the GR package again (having again v0.52) and it still works: grafik

The screenshot contains the full output - there was nothing more. Unfortunately I have already updated GR (added + update to v0.57.5) and downgraded (remove GR, resulting in GR v0.52.0) Now I can't reproduce the small figures any more. Figures appear in normal size.

Thank you all for your fast feedback 🙂

You are right nothing on Pluto's side that can be done. It is probably to to with the Plots package. Thank you for your help.

Thanks everyone! I will leave the issue open for a couple of days to make it more visible

[jheinen]

I can reproduce this strange behaviour if I Pkg.add("Plots") in an empty Julia environment, but I still have no idea why it uses an old GR version (0.52.2). If I first install GR (and then Plots), everything works fine.

[hofmannmartin]

The issue is indeed with Plots. There is already a pull request in the pipeline, that will fix this issue https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/pull/3526.

[lnacquaroli]

This was fixed after updating to Plots v1.15.3.

sorry, i found on google and then commented on the closed issue # 896. my bad... the issue cropped up there and the workaround was to add ;dpi = 460 to plot commands. my comment on the other post is below:

the issue appears to be back. i'm using pluto on a linux box and have tiny graphs until i add the ;dpi = 460 argument to my plot commands. here's what i have (along with julia 1.6.1)

@adannenberg Update Plots.jl and try again. You are using the previous version.

[adannenberg]

i did so and the problem is fixed. thanks.
