I have a code with two functions, both of them uses the `plot!` command (I need it), however I dont know how to say to Julia when start to adding the plots in a new empty plot. There is a command to restart the action of `plot!` to a new canvas?

Just take out the exclamation point, unless you mean something else?

Or, if for some reason you can’t change `plot!` to `plot`, just use an intermediary `plot()` without arguments to get a fresh plot.

As I said, I can’t quit the commands `plot!`, just that, when I decided, the new plots start adding in a new canvas.
