Check out the frame tools page at

http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~gumley/frame.html

You can set up a series of graphics frames (as many as you want), and
create a plot in each frame, and then loop through them. e.g.

fset
x=sin(findgen(10))
plot,x,sin(x)
af
plot,x,cos(x)
af
plot,x,sin(x)^2
af
plot,x,cos(x)^2

Cheers,
Liam.
