Filling the frame of a NG plot [message #89781]

Dear Folks,

I'd like to fill the plot area of a New Graphics plot with a solid color.
So far, I haven't found a way to do this that does not blank out the plot
itself. Here's a stripped-down example that is supposed to plot a diagonal
line over a yellow background. The yellow polygon, however, covers up the
diagonal line.

win = window(dimensions = [512, 512])
pos = [0.2, 0.2, 0.8, 0.8]
ndx = [[0, 1], [2, 1], [2, 3], [0, 3], [0, 1]]
verts = pos[ndx]
poly = polygon(verts, /fill_background, fill_color = 'yellow', $
fill_transparency = 0, target = win)
pl = plot([0, 1], position = pos, current = win)

I tried moving the polygon to the back with
poly.order, /send_to_back
and moving the plot to the front with
pl.order, /bring_to_front
Neither works.

What's the right way to do what I want?

All the best,

David
