[Casa-framework] msplot tool

[Lindsey Davis]

Hi,

I forgot it add one thing here. It is useful to associate multiple data sets
with one window sometimes in which case I assume that the easiest way
to do it now is to create at least one personal mp tool rather than
opening and closing the builtin one.. However I would still like the option
of creating a separate window if I want to. I find this much easier
to manage than fussing with configuring figures and plots for the kinds
of things I spend much of my time doing.

By the way I don't dislike the subplot functionality in some circumstances.
I do dislike the user interface syntax. As soon as you start creating
sizable grids of plots if become confusing. Where does plot 8 in a 4x3
grid really go?

                                                      Lindsey
