That doesn't seem to be the case - it returns the right thing on the
first call - i.e. region got changed, but on subsequent calls the
figure is displayed and the function returns array([0,0,0,0]). I
thought taking the slice just gave access to the internals of region
...
How does one assign a new value to a variable in a containing scope?
