Plot.Clear() doesn't clear everything

See original GitHub issue

This is a good example of a bad software pattern. Switch statements don’t get updated when new pottables are added.

This hack works to clear experimental plottables (relates to #249):

wpfPlot1.plt.GetPlottables().Clear();

Perhaps Clear should only have two simple overloads:

Clear() to clear all
Clear(Type) to clear just that plottable type

I think this is happening for the new ErrorBarsPlottable that was added.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I’ll prioritize fixing this and getting it on NuGet.

Is there a quick fix?

Something like:

plt.GetPlottables().Clear()

(let me know if that does the trick)
