 The `clear` command erases the current screen or output device as specified
 by `set output` (Note: output ).  This usually generates a formfeed on
 hardcopy devices.  Use `set terminal` (Note: terminal ) to set the device
 type.

 For some terminals `clear` erases only the portion of the plotting surface
 defined by `set size` (Note: size ), so for these it can be used in
 conjunction with set multiplot` to create an inset.

 Example:
       set multiplot
       plot sin(x)
       set origin 0.5,0.5
       set size 0.4,0.4
       clear
       plot cos(x)
       set nomultiplot

 Please see `set multiplot` (Note: multiplot ), set size, and nd `set origin`
 (Note: origin ) for details of these commands.
