If you want to plot to xwin, I find that clicking on the window while it's open and hitting 'enter' will allow you to issue a plend () without everything hanging and the session crashing. I also find that doing this causes all the lines to be drawn at once and the window immediately closes, so you have to have quick eyes if you want to see what you have plotted. As a result, I still use PGPLOT for my everyday plotting, and switch to PLplot if I need to make a plot that I can't make in PGPLOT. I do think this is a very good solution for the long term, but it works for now since I haven't had time to dig into the PLplot xwin driver.

The solution is as Doug described. Tempting as it is to click the close button on the window, you have to instead click on the window and hit return to close it.

You can force an update of the window by using the command plflush().
