The pl command doesn't seem to work when I use a GUI?

The PL command may appear to be ineffective in some environments. For instance, if working with GUI lead software. This is because the pl command requires that the current figure (the one that you want to plot into) be selected and if you're working with GUIs this isn't the case.

One might expect

>> pl(data,'name','neutron data');

to plot data over the top of an already open plot named 'neutron data'. However instead the following should be used

>> plotHandle = get_handles('neutron data',); >> figure(plotHandle) >> pl(data);

This will resolve the problem and be robust.
