Tyler throws error when plotting in an already displayed figure #157
Description
When I plot a Tyler.Map into an already existing figure and axis which are otherwise empty I get the error below.
This only happens if the figure is already displayed. If I suppress the display with a semicolon this doesn't throw an error.
The error doesn't stop the tyler map from functioning.
using Tyler, GLMakie
julia> figure = Figure()
julia> axis = Axis(figure[1, 1])
Axis with 0 plots:
julia> tyler = Tyler.Map(Extent(Y=(-27.0, 0.025), X=(0.04, 38.0));
