Commented Unassigned: More R charts in a Windows form app [143]

Hi, I have a C# code for a simple windows form with 3 buttons. Button 1 calls R and plots a surface while button 2 plots a contour. If I launch the application and click on button 1, I correctly see the surface plot but then I would like to click on button 2 to open a new window with the counter plot. Unfortunately, if I try to do so the app freezes and I cannot go on. So I have added button 3 with the intention to close the R engine if it is running. The idea was to kill the R instance and reopen it when clicking on button 2. But this doesn't work either. Is there a way to fix my problem?

namespace mySurface
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

public void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string dllPath = @"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.0\bin\i386\";
REngine.SetDllDirectory(dllPath);
REngine.CreateInstance("RDotNet");
REngine engine = REngine.GetInstanceFromID("RDotNet");

if (engine.IsRunning == false)
{
engine.Initialize();
}

var x = engine.Evaluate("x <- 1:100").AsNumeric();
var y = engine.Evaluate("y <- 5:105").AsNumeric();
engine.Evaluate("model = function (a, b){23.86+5.525*b-2.5725*a-6.6413*b^2-5.1862*a^2}"); //evaluate function
engine.Evaluate("z = outer(x, y ,model)");
engine.Evaluate("persp(x,y,z)");
//Console.WriteLine(x[0]);
}

public void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string dllPath = @"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.0\bin\i386\";
REngine.SetDllDirectory(dllPath);
REngine.CreateInstance("RDotNet");
REngine engine = REngine.GetInstanceFromID("RDotNet");

engine.Evaluate("model = function (a, b){23.86+5.525*b-2.5725*a-6.6413*b^2-5.1862*a^2}"); //evaluate function
engine.Evaluate("z = outer(x, y ,model)");
engine.Evaluate("contour(x,y,z, nlevels = 10)");

//Console.WriteLine(x[0]);
}

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
REngine engine = REngine.GetInstanceFromID("RDotNet");
if (engine.IsRunning == false)
{
engine.Close();
}
}
}
}
Comments: Thanks a lot for your comments. I have used the latest version of R.Net and now I'm able to generate both graphs with my buttons. Anyway, is it possible to have both the graph open? I.e. I click on button1 that opens a surface plot. Then I click on button2 that opens a contour plot but in a separate window, thus keeping the previous chart (which was generated by button1) open. At the moment if I click on button1 and then on button2 it just replace the previous graph with the new one. So I can't see both windows open. Any settings that makes this work? Thanks.
