Is it possible to handle objects have already been plotted on x11 device? For example, I wrote the text on the wrong place. Can I remove it, or I have to re-draw all the canvas, again?
The latter.
You can re-plot the text in background colour (col=0) *provided that is not transparent* (when you can use the canvas colour) and provided it did not overlap other graphics. In practice, Uwe's suggestion is much the easiest one.
