JJ, I think your version would need an additional try/except or conditional, because a Figure doesn't necessarily have a canvas assigned to it, and a canvas doesn't necessarily have a manager. Granted, the problem would arise only under odd circumstances involving a mixture of pyplot and OO styles--and maybe there is actually something that would prevent the problem from arising at all--but I would want to be sure the problem either was handled, or could not arise. So, I think my version ends up being simpler, safer, and easier to understand--at least for me.
