Although I haven't tried this, I see no reason why you can't put the
rasters, graphs and object2d displays on lists and use the [actionGroup
createActionForEach: list message: M(message)] to update the whole bunch.

One example of this in action is in the EZGraph, which is actually a wrapper
around a BLTGraph and a number of elements which feed data from the
datasources to the BLTGraph. A -step message to EZGraph thus triggers a call
to the internal list of these graph elements and the BLTGraph (see the
source code).
