Figure
Noun · Development
Definitions
In data visualization libraries (Matplotlib, Plotly), the top-level container for all plot elements — axes, titles, legends. A figure can contain one or many subplots.
In plain English: The canvas that holds your charts and graphs in plotting libraries — like the piece of paper that everything gets drawn on.
Example: "Create a figure with two subplots side by side to compare the before and after distributions."
