    <p>Hello Adrian,</p>
    <p>Here is what I would do:</p>
    <p>(1) use 'tag' property field of your curve together with findobj
      to get access to the plot to be updated, without passing the
      handle.<br>
      (2) instead of deleting the curve and recreating it, I would
      directly modify its content (data property) and then ask for a
      replot/rescale if needed.</p>
    <p>You can have a look at the content of function 'replot()' for a
      typical example.<br>
      It get called when the user changes the top slider in the GUI or
      presses Re-run.<br>
      It is far from perfect, but it does something that might look like
      what you want.</p>
    <p>Hope it helps,</p>
    <p>Antoine<br>
    </p>
