"""
=================================
Manage multiple figures in pyplot
=================================
`matplotlib.pyplot` uses the concept of a *current figure* and *current Axes*.
Figures are identified via a figure number that is passed to `~.pyplot.figure`.
The figure with the given number is set as *current figure*. Additionally, if
no figure with the number exists, a new one is created.
.. note::
We discourage working with multiple figures through the implicit pyplot
interface because managing the *current figure* is cumbersome and
error-prone. Instead, we recommend using the explicit approach and call
methods on Figure and Axes instances. See :ref:`api_interfaces` for an
explanation of the trade-offs between the implicit and explicit interfaces.
