Here is some code:
using PyPlot
function chartplay()
one = figure(1)
plot(1:4)
two = figure(2)
scatter(randn(25),randn(25))
figure(1)
title("Title")
plt[:show]()
wm = get_current_fig_manager()
dump(wm)
#= python code to get a plot figure window to be topmost.
I could not figure out how to do these calls
wm = plt.get_current_fig_manager()
wm.window.attributes('-topmost', 1)
wm.window.attributes('-topmost', 0)
=#
#= attempt to use via julia PyPlot -- didn't work
plt[:window](wm, "-topmost", 1)
plt[:window](wm, "-topmost", 0)
# figure 1 should be either the top window of all or at least
"above" figure 2
=#
end
