Nice addition Ethan, thanks for putting that in. Having to hit replot 
every time I resize wxt was always a drag but never seemed important 
enough to mention.  I'm not sure what purpose there is in the toggle 
option, when is it useful to have the plot temporarily not match the new 
terminal size?  Surely if the user resizes the terminal it is with the 
intention to resize the graph, which will happen next time anything is 
plotted or replotted.

I'm not a hard-line GUI minimalist but this toggle seems like feature 
clutter.
