3.3.2.14 Exiting plotxy

You can use the Quit button to clear the plot from the window and detach from the MS. You can also dismiss the window by killing it with the X on the frame, which will also detach the MS.

You can also just leave it alone. The plotter pretty much keeps running in the background even when it looks like it’s done! You can keep doing stuff in the plotter window, which is where the overplot parameter comes in. Note that the plotcal task (§ 4.5.1) will use the same window, and can also overplot on the same panel.

If you leave plotxy running, beware of (for instance) deleting or writing over the MS without stopping. It may work from a memory version of the MS or crash.
