Ok so I have been looking into the Figure class and I still not clear on how figure works. Does it contain all of the normal functions that are in pylab? Does it just contain axes which are are where the graphs are, like subplots in pylab? Do I need to use figure inside of wx widgets or other windowing toolkit? (It seems from the examples this is true) Any help understanding this would be appreciated.
