In order to do it programatically my approach is to use InspectDR package(which is based on Gtk). This creates plot windows that can be closed by a dedicated function, as the developer of the package explains in this topic:

> Hi, Sorry for the noob question, but I searched through some documentation and examples of InspectDR and could not figure out how to close a plot window. Can someone point me in the right direction, please? I’m sure I missed something. Thank you! Some info about my task: I am plotting hundreds of signals in order to label them(I have a small GUI that blocks plotting the next signal until I tell it to) so the screen will fill up with windows. I thought of two solutions for this: close window …

I hope this helps.
