in a jupyter notebook i can create multiple figures using GLMakie and look at them both at the same time. but on the julia REPL, GLMakie re-uses the same window, so i can’t have multiple figures open at once. i’ve looked in the docstrings and online docs but can’t find a way to open a second window. is it possible to do this, similar to in jupyter? thanks!

I have used [ElectronDisplay.jl](https://github.com/queryverse/ElectronDisplay.jl) for this purpose.

You can use display(GLMakie.Screen(), fig()) to open in a second window. See [Remove GLMakie.Screen() requirement for opening a new window. · Issue #2981 · MakieOrg/Makie.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/issues/2981) for further discussion.
