A plane has a virtual cursor; move it with **ncplane_cursor_move_yx**.
Specifying -1 as one or both coordinates will hold that axis constant. Unless
coordinates are specified for a call, action takes place at the plane's
virtual cursor, which automatically moves along with output. The current
virtual cursor location can be acquired with **ncplane_cursor_yx**.
**ncplane_yx** returns the coordinates of the specified plane's origin, relative

**ncplane_erase_region** returns -1 if any of its parameters are negative, or
if they specify any area beyond the plane.
**ncplane_cursor_move_yx** returns -1 if the coordinates are beyond the
dimensions of the specified plane (except for the special value -1).
Functions returning **int** return 0 on success, and non-zero on error.
All other functions cannot fail (and return **void**).
