Why num in manager?

Hello

Is there any reason why the “num” property is assigned to the manager and not to the figure?
Pyplot.gcf is to get the “current figure” not the “current manager”.

In general this is not a problem. But I’m working on MEP23 where one manager can contain several figures. And it would be pretty nice if I could reference the figures by that number not the managers.

A priori, do you see any problem with a PR changing that?

Thanks
Federico

Hello

I think this is because the figure is at the object-oriented API level. The manager is in the pyplot state-machine level.

Pyplot.gcf is to get the "current figure" not the "current manager".

It is really "get current managed figure", combined with the original idea that the manager is the pyplot layer on top of the figure, with one manager per figure. The "current" concept comes from the state machine.

In general this is not a problem. But I'm working on MEP23 where one
manager can contain several figures. And it would be pretty nice if I
could reference the figures by that number not the managers.

It seems like it could work--but what will it do to existing user code?

I think that so long as you maintain the mapping of ‘manager’ to be ‘gui element holding the Figure’ (rather than ‘gui window holding figure’) numbering the managers should be ok. That is, the tabs are the managers and the multi-figure windows are a layer above the managers.

The notion of ‘figure number’ is very thoroughly a pyplot/figure manager idea I am -1 on pushing that logic down in to the Figure class.
