    set [no]display

By default, whenever an item is added to a multiplot canvas, or an existing item is moved or replotted, the whole multiplot is redrawn to reflect the change. This can be a time-consuming process when constructing large and complex multiplot canvases, as fresh output is produced at each step. For this reason, the `set nodisplay` command is provided, which stops Pyxplot from producing any graphical output. The `set display` command can subsequently be issued to return to normal behaviour. Scripts which produces large and complex multiplot canvases are typically wrapped as follows:

    set nodisplay
    ...
    set display
