I would guess because you are confused about what you are doing and
you are confusing the cgWindow. I can hear it going "Huh!" now. :-)

The way you would do a multi-plot command using cgWindow is like this:

cgWindow, WMulti=[0,1,2]
cgPlot, x1, y1, axiscolor='white', background='black', /AddCmd
cgPlot, x2, y2, axiscolor='white', /AddCmd

This will produce the correct PDF file for you.

Cheers,

David
