    $\begingroup$ This could be very useful for defining wrapper functions globally as in SetOptions[Plot, DisplayFunction-> myFunctiom]. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Jens Instead, one could simply change the value of $DisplayFunction, which is the actual default value of DisplayFunction. One thing ot pay attention to is that the display function won't get applied when evaluating a Graphics expression. It needs Show or some kind of plotting function. $\endgroup$
