Sorry, I meant 'clg' for which 'clearplot', 'gplot clear', 'gsplot 
clear' and 'replot clear' are synonyms (type 'help clg' at the prompt).
'clear' on the other hand removes variables and functions from memory 
(which in case of functions is /sometimes/ necessary to do explicitely 
after you changed the code of the respective .m file to force Octave to 
reload the new code into memory instead of reusing the one already there).

True, but that involves using the mouse. To also be able to use this 
feature in your .m files, 'clg' comes in handy.
