I am playing around building my own backend for matplotlib and I was reading the repo and how the module manages the figures.
Tuns out that the figures are kept under a class variable called figs
, where the name of the class is Gcf
. See in the repo: _pylab_helpers.py#L10
My question is: What Gcf
stands for?
My guesses:
garbage collection figure
graphic canvas figure
Global …
Any idea?
