PlotWindow, WksWindow, and GridWindow Objects

It is important to distinguish between windows and documents. Document objects represent a file on disk containing the actual data to be represented. Windows are used to view that data. There can be multiple windows viewing the same document at once.

The Window object encapsulates all the methods and properties associated with a Surfer window. Methods exist to open, close, move and size the window.

When a document is closed, all windows viewing that document are closed as well. The reverse relationship exists as well. When the last window viewing a document is closed the document is closed.
