Well, clear everything off your monitor the you are
displaying your graphics on. Create a graphics window, now
run your program. Your graphic window should still be
visible. ;-)
What? That seems onerous? Well, then I use the inexpensive
program Actual Title Buttons, especially when I am teaching
on a laptop, to add the ability to pin a graphics window
to the front, or to roll it up out of the way, when I want
to see something on the display.
It's the only way I know to overcome the problem with WSet
being broken.
Curiously, WSet occasionally works if you run a widget
program just before you type WSet. Don't ask me why.
It's one of the mysteries of the Universe. :-)
Cheers,
David
