Description
Currently the plot gets re-executed whenever the container size changes. We should probably default to not re-executing (like we do in R), but I'm not sure if python/matplotlib has an equivalent of replayPlot()

Research direction
Start at the render.plot() entry point and trace how container resizing causes the plot to re-execute. Compare this behavior with the R implementation and investigate whether Python/matplotlib offers an equivalent to replayPlot(). Done means the requested exec_on_resize behavior and its default are clearly defined and supported.
