Plotting with Julia multiple graphs in a loop or function

Question

I'm using Atom and Julia to plot a good number of graphs. I have a code like this:

function plotnetwork(A)
  for i=1:size(A,3)
    p,t=findn(A[:,:,i]
    graphplot(p,t)
  end
return
end

where graphplot is grom PlotRecipes: https://github.com/JuliaPlots/PlotRecipes.jl

I have the following problems: using this code as a function doesn't plot anything (like if the plots where local variables) and even putting this loop in my main only outputs a single plot in a single window.

What I desire is multiple windows with one plot each, I think the command push may be what I need but I didn't find much online.

You never displayed the plot. Plots are normally displayed on return in the REPL, but since scripts and functions don't have implicit returns, this isn't happening. So add display(plot(...)). Or, save the array of plot objects (push!(ps,plot(...))) and return the array of plots so you can plot(ps[i]) for separate windows.
