Makie.jl: compiled makie does not show window

[daviehh]

using PackageCompiler.compile_incremental(:Makie, :StatsMakie, :AbstractPlotting), I'm able to compile and the sample code

x = LinRange(0,3pi,200)
y = sin.(x)
@time lin = lines(x, y, padding = (0.0, 0.0), axis = (
            names = (axisnames = ("", ""),),
            grid = (linewidth = (0, 0),),
        ))

runs in under a second as opposed to ~20 seconds of the JIT version; however, no plot window is shown, and it just returns (the same code with stock sysimg works as expected)

This is a known problem caused by precompilation of the display stack. You can either call AbstractPlotting.__init__() on initializing the session, or explicitly display the Scene by using (for your example) display(AbstractPlotting.PlotDisplay(), lin)
