Multiplot Clearing Problem

[Henry F. Mollet]

I'm doing a (2,3,1 to 6) multiplot (see attached pdf).

2 of 5 major plot statements are:
subplot (2,3,1)
plot (Results(1:29,8),Results(1:29,9),"x")
subplot (2,3,2)
plot (Results(30:56,8),Results(30:56,9),"x")
% Note that different rows of same col vector are plotted.

As each subplot requires "hold on" to produce the triangle
(blue) and one contour (grey), I have to "clear" between
each subplot or the "hold on" will apply to subsequent subplots.
I do this by plotting to a "dummy" subplot:
subplot (2,3,6) % clearing patch using different cols of Results matrix
plot (Results(1:1,3),Results(1:1,6),"x").

At the end I can even "overwrite" the dummy subplot with a new
proper subplot (not shown) but it will plot #5 plus $6 (new).
How can I get a "good" 6th subplot? I'm on a Mac using AquaTerm
and use perhaps using dated version of octave
GNU Octave, version 2.1.46 (powerpc-apple-darwin6.6)a
and G N U P L O T   Version 3.8i patchlevel 0
