I find that when I rerun a script that greats a (function graphics) plot it always creates a new window, which steals the focus (and pops up the new window in the wrong place). This drives me crazy. It would be much better if I could erase the old one and reuse the same window. Then my window layout would stay put and focus would stay in the editing window.

Thanks, Chris. This works, except that it doesn't erase the plot (it is still in the window). But plotting a new plot to current does erase it and plots the new one. Is this the intended behavior (I would have thought that erase would erase)?

I'm using IDL 8.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.2 (note that I use the X11 backend since I run it from X11 emacs).
