Yes, it catches an unexpected error. I meant that it does not tell
you whether the plot is correct.

I agree that this is somewhat useful as a test, but it still does not
tell that the plot is rendered correctly. That's why I think the
demos are still useful. Perhaps more useful at this point than for
the graphics functions than writing a bunch of automated tests that
show that properties are set correctly.
