Yes, this is what I was after. I'll try fetching the window buffer and extract 
it from there. I'll see if a command line switch can be added easily to plot to 
do just that.

I was thinking that if plot didn't automatically clear the window (maybe with 
an option) you could add a background to the plot. Another option could be for 
plot to have an image command that imports and draws one from a file.

I tried this same plot program on a raspberry Pi with much slower graphics and 
I noticed that the red circle is drawn for an instant and then disappears 
behind a white box that covers most of it. I tried it without the lines and 
it's the same thing. Not sure what is clipping the circle. Very strange.
