savefig stacked in a while loop for saving a subplot from Plots.jl

[hayatoikoma]

When I tried to save a subplot generated with Plots.jl via savefig, I found that it doesn't exit from a while loop.

The code example to reproduce this problem is given in JuliaPlots/Plots.jl#1397.

I couldn't figure out why the Blink command keep returning nothing...

Hmm, that is strange.

I have an updated set of frontend code that will make savefig much more reliable and performant. As long as your needs aren't extremely time sensitive, I think it might be best to wait until that is released.

That's great to know. As I can save the figure through directly calling PlotlyJS.savefig, it is not time sensitive for me.

I hope this is going to work on your new frontend!

I have same issue on savefig from Plots.
"PlotlyJS.savefig" helped me to save figure .eps on command line.
But I can't implement same code on Jupyter Notebook.

There will be some upcoming changes for how figures can be saved very soon -- I just need to find time to push the changes through and test them.

If anyone has some time and is interested in helping me implement that, please let me know!

In the mean time I could post instructions for how to get a more reliable savefig experience -- though it will require some manual effort until the above mentioned updates are complete.

savefig stack has been re-written. Please try the new stuff!

For now, please use the master branch

] # enter pkg mode
(v1.0) pkg> checkout PlotlyJS

If you want save figures you can do

] # enter package mode
(v1.0) pkg> add https://github.com/sglyon/ORCA.jl.git#master
