Thanks. Is there a way I could determine if the backend is different? I just tested a simple plot in Python and Julia. The windows do look very slightly different. It's minor, but on Python the buttons in the plot window have a thin frame around them (so they look more like buttons) and in Julia they do not. That could indicate a different backend. But it would be nice to confirm.
While doing this, I was reminded of a weird quirk of PyPlot that I was hoping you might fix: julia> using PyPlot INFO: Loading help data... julia> x = [1 2 3]; julia> plot(x,x) This gives an empty plot because "x" has the wrong shape. I spent a while debugging before I remembered. Would it be difficult to change the plot function so that it transposes arrays when needed? Cheers, Daniel. On 5 November 2014 05:41, Steven G.
