If you are using an appropriate window manager, you might consider
another approach: use the SET_GRAPHICS_FUNCTION keyword to the
DEVICE command. Details are in the IDL Reference Guide, chapt.3.
Then you can plot the line, then unplot it by changing the graphics
function and repeating the same plots command.
