With the iTools or (new) Graphics, that is the default behavior. With
direct graphics, it is impossible: once something is drawn to the
device, it stays there, and no information is preserved on how it was
made. You may think of direct graphics as a printer. Once something
goes there, you cannot take it back (though you can erase what is
there).
