"""
This example utlizes restore_region with optional bbox and xy
arguments.  The plot is continuously shifted to the left. Instead of
drawing everything again, the plot is saved (copy_from_bbox) and
restored with offset by the amount of the shift. And only newly
exposed area is drawn. This technique may reduce drawing time for some cases.
