Description
It is possible to create a figure with a string "number": figure(num="Charts")
, which is used as the window title (if any).
This string number is even recognized by pyplot.subplots(…, num="Charts")
: it does recover the original figure and axes.
However, pyplot.fignum_exists("Chart")
returns False.
So, part of Matplotlib knows that a figure was created (and is open) with a certain string "number" (subplots()
,…), while another part of Matplotlib doesn't (fignum_exists()
). It would be useful if fignum_exists()
was aware of figure string numbers too.
