Is there any way I can keep the window with the point cloud open while my program continues to execute? ros::spin stops it there until I close the window and I couldn't find any way around it. Yup, take a look at p.spin and p.spinOnce (we're mimicking the ros standard there), where p is a PCLVisualizer object. The test examples should exhibit the same behavior, and you can look into pcl_tutorials at pairwise_registration_alignment for a fancier example that uses viewports (oh, pcd_viewer also does that if you enable -multiview).
