Hallo Robert, I saw you first message, but unfortunately the fix for this is not that easy. If you have only one subwindow, then it would be ok to clear the buffer if pladv() is called. But this is not true if you have 2 or more subwindows. Clearing one subwindow with e.g. pladv(1) doesn't mean that you want to clear the other subwindows, what would happen if you clear the buffer. This might be no problem for your case, but we would break the library for all who use subwindows. The fix I have in mind is to split the buffers depending in what subwindow we plot. So if we have 4 subwindows, we also have 4 buffers where we save the plot commands and we can safely destroy one of the buffers if one subwindow is cleared. It's rather straight forward, but still needs some time to code, so I put it on my TODO list, but it will need some time (say weeks to months) until I'll address this problem until someone else beats me to it.
