Run the task clearplot when you want to clear completely the matplotlib, but keep
it available for additional plotting.

Typing 'go clearplot()'  will not change the current task being scrutinized
Typing 'clearplot()      will change the current task assignment to clearplot
                         which is generally not what is desired.
