I ran into a problem with creating plots within a @threads for loop. Here is a simplified version of my code:
import Plots
function main()
n_points::Int64=10
n_epochs::Int64=100
NP=100
mkdir("test")
lk::ReentrantLock=ReentrantLock()
i::Int64=0
Threads.@threads for _i in 1:n_points
data=rand(Float64,(n_epochs,NP)) # do some calculation here
lock(lk)
i+=1
println("------------------------------------")
println("run $i, thread $(Threads.threadid()), NP $NP")
p=Plots.plot(1:n_epochs, data, legend = false)
Plots.xlabel!(p,"epoch")
Plots.ylabel!(p,"data")
Plots.savefig(p,"./test/train_$i")
println("...plotted")
unlock(lk)
end
end
main()
Using a lock this should be thread-safe. However, the tick labels in plots created from threads with threadid()!=1 are wrong: example
Am I doing something wrong or is this worth a bug report?
