updating default() in Plots does not update the plots

[lmiq]

If one sets a cell with, for example:

default(framestyle=:box,label="",linewidth=2)

and have some plot afterwards, updating the linewidth, for example, does not update automatically the plot styles.

Minimal set of cells:

using Plots
default(framestyle=:box,label="",linewidth=2)
plot(rand(10),rand(10))

That's because it is a sateful mutation, hidden from Pluto, see #564 #316. You might want to file an issue with Plots.jl to change their API into something without this state problem, but I doubt that it's possible without changing the API drastically.

I would suggest something like:

plot = Plots.generate_plot_method(framestyle=:box,label="",linewidth=2)

Then you make the dependency explicit, and you can have multiple plot styles in parallel:

plot = Plots.generate_plot_method(framestyle=:box,label="",linewidth=2)
thickplot = Plots.generate_plot_method(framestyle=:box,label="",linewidth=10)
