spy() produces empty plot on pyplot

[AzamatB]

using Plots, LinearAlgebra
gr()
spy(Matrix{Int}(I, 10, 10))

produces wrong output, namely image is not aligned with the axes. For comparison run this with plotly() backend, which plots this correctly.

Furthermore

using Plots
pyplot()
spy(Matrix{Int}(I, 10, 10))

simply plots zero matrix.

Here's what I get:
gr:

plotly:

pyplot:

So something is clearly amiss with pyplot - I don't see the GR problem though.

@mkborregaard what version of GR are you running? With 0.31 on Atom I get the following:

[mkborregaard]

Yeah, we've had that before - yflip working on GR on most machines but not all. Sometimes different behaviour on the same operating system and version! What's your OS and version?

The GR issue is thus a duplicate of #1491

macOS X version 10.13.4

So am I lol.

[mkborregaard]

Any ideas, @jheinen ?

This issue has been solved in GR.jl now with jheinen/GR.jl@b16a5da
(at least for me)
Not sure what has to be done so this fix is also used in Plots.jl
