What is the relationship between a figure and a canvas? My impression is the following. You can do all your drawing on a figure. When you want to render the figure (e.g., to screen, or printing to file), and not until then, you need a canvas. A canvas will therefore always be associated with a particular backend. But when one creates a figure canvas, the canvas registers itself with the figure. What does the figure get out of this? (E.g., if we want the figure to draw itself to the canvas, the canvas could always pass itself to the figure. Right?)
