Issue with Plotly() in Julia

Question

I am using Julia for potting.

I do the following:

img = load("/Users/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx-xxxx.png")

plot!(img)
plot!(x_coordinate_holder, y_coordinate_holder, color = :black, linewidth=0.4)

However when I add plotly() before the above code, it opens up a plot in the safari window, but it remains blank. Any ideas to fix this? The plot successfully shows up when I leave it with the default backend. My guess is that img is not supported with the plotly() backend. Can anyone confirm this?

Answer 1

According to the Julia Plots docs here, Only the gr(), hdf5() and pyplot() support the plotting of an image. Switching to one of those backends will resolve the issue.
