I want to be able to "freeze" the plot when adding another curve (because I
want to compare the added curve and a previous one in a small portion of
the X/Y plane, this portion may have been chosen by a zoom of the user
before adding the curve).

Once this comparison has been performed, the user may want to autoscale the
complete plot. If the added curve is larger than the previous one, the
autoscale should take into account the larger curve.
