Multiplot or multiple windows?

[Joao Cardoso]

Hi,

I tried multiplot, but after aplying it I could't run some of the
demos in the demo directory (I remember the surface2 demo).

Although multiplot is very usefull, mainly for publications preparation,
I would be satisfied if I could use several window simultaneously,  e.g.

p1=figure()     would create a new gnuplot window/process and all
                graphics output would go to there.
p2=figure()     idem
figure(p1)      reverted to the first window, keeping the other window
                contents.

This is usefull for comparing different processing strategies without the need
to print graphics.

I have been watching the sources and doing it does not seem to difficult to do,
but I don't dare to change them (I have refusing myself from learning C++).

This is an indirect sugestion jwe :)

Thanks,
