How can I plot two plots on the screen? This does not work:

```julia
using ControlSystems, Plots

P₀ = tf(1.0, [1, 1])
p1=bodeplot(P₀)
display(p1)
p2=plot(step(P₀))
display(p2)

```

Is this [the same question](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-display-multiple-plot-windows/82246) as last month?

The same question, but in a different context, so I don’t think the answer from last month works here, because ControlSystems uses recipes…

One new question would be: Can I combine both plots in one without changing the default backend?

`plot(p1, p2)`

Or if you would like to have the step-response in the upper right corner:

```julia
p3 = plot(framestyle=:none) # blank dummy plot
l = @layout [a{0.5w} [b{0.5h}; c]]
plot(p1, p2, p3, layout=l)

```

Thanks a lot!
