single plot window, persistent, most recent plot(s)

@strempfer asks (by email):

I am wondering if it would be possible in Bluesky to have a single plot window, that has different graphs, depending on how many detectors are used. It could have a title like ‘Bluesky plot window’ and would be always used no matter which motor is scanned. It also should display only the current scan. This would be similar to spec but with the possibility to have several graphs. The plot window should also always move to the top when a scan is started. Like it is now, after 10 min of scanning different motors you have either a lot of windows open or many different scans in one window and you always have to close all the old scan windows manually. If one needs to compare scans, there are other plotting tools available like polartools.diffraction.dbplot or similar. dbplot for example uses the title ‘Plot data’ for the plot window and plots always in this same window.

Would it be possible to have something like this through apstools that replaces the generic data plotting of Bluesky?
