biggles setup fails on current OSX #138
Description
The setup instructions for OSX are now out of date. homebrew has been modified and the brew install plotutils does not any longer accept the --with-x11 option. Possibly because of this, my biggles installation stopped working and also re-installation of plotutils or biggles doesn't seem to fix it:
pip install biggles
python
Python 3.7.3 (default, Mar 27 2019, 09:23:39)
[Clang 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5)] on darwin

>>> import biggles
>>> import numpy
>>> x = numpy.arange(0,10,0.3)
>>> p = biggles.FramedPlot()
>>> p.add( biggles.Curve(x, numpy.cos(x)) )
>>> p.show()
libplot: ignoring request to create plotter of unknown type

Any ideas how to fix this? Forcing recompilation didn't fix the issue either (pip install --no-binary :all: biggles)
Thanks
