TCanvas.Update() draws the frame, after which one can change it

In [ ]:
c1.Update()
c1.GetFrame().SetFillColor( 21 )
c1.GetFrame().SetBorderSize( 12 )
c1.Modified()
c1.Update()

If the graph does not appear, try using the "i" flag, e.g. "python3 -i graph.py" This will access the interactive mode after executing the script, and thereby persist long enough for the graph to appear.

Draw all canvases
