Ctrl+C changes a
'modal' WindowStyle to the default value, 'normal '.
Modal figu r es stack on top of all existing figure windows, making them
inaccessible as long as the top figure exists and remains modal. However,
any new figures created after a modal figu re is displayed (for example , plots
or other dialog boxes created by a modal GUI) stack on top of it and are
accessible ; th e y can be modal as well.
