I think we could do a bit of both.  For instance, we should check that
calling set_width updates the FRB, but we don't need to make sure that
changing the labels changes the output plot.  Does that make sense?

Yes, that's also what matplotlib does.  We should think about doing
this (using answer testing) but not for a while, as the plot window is
still a bit in flux.

Not directly.  I can work on those.
