I don't really understand the inner workings, but here is a piece of code
that works fine for me both in REPL and IJulia.
using PyPlot# plot in an external window since it doesn't work yet in
IJuliapygui(true)# tell PyPlot that the plot is interactivePyPlot.ion()# . . .
and that previous plots are overwrittenPyPlot.hold(false)# start time-stepping
loopfor n = 1:nsteps
# plot something
# . . .
# Then force the draw PyPlot.draw()end
You can also embed the figure into IJulia, but it is more tedious. A couple of
people on this list helped me getting these things to run. I have an example
implemented in

I hope this helps.
