I am trying to create a widget using the new IDL 8 plot function and
widget_window. I'd like to be able to display different plots in the
widget window and each time I choose a different menu button, have a
fresh plot appear. I am using /current to make each plot appear in
the same widget window. However, I'm having trouble with the plots
simply being plotted over each other within the graphics window. I've
played around with using /overplot but I don't think it helps because
I need to have multiple plots on the screen. There isnt this problem
when I use the old graphics (widget_draw), with the code not very
different to the one I am using now. Perhaps I am missing something
that clears the current plot?

Thanks.
