Description

Sometimes I stop a sketch and the canvas gets erased, it would prefer to keep the last image (or possibly add a pause button instead of stop).

Research direction

Decide which requested behavior is in scope—preserving the last image or adding pause—and verify that the chosen behavior remains visible or usable after stopping.
