.. Note for glossary authors:
6+
The glossary is primarily intended for Matplotlib's own concepts and
7+
terminology, e.g. figure, artist, backend, etc. We don't want to list
8+
general terms like "GUI framework", "event loop" or similar.
9+
The glossary should contain a short definition of the term, aiming at
10+
a high-level understanding. Use links to redirect to more comprehensive
11+
explanations and API reference when possible.
12+
13+
This glossary defines concepts and terminology specific to Matplotlib.

..glossary::
16+
17+
Figure
18+
The outermost container for a Matplotlib graphic. Think of this as the
19+
canvas to draw on.
20+
21+
This is implemented in the class `.Figure`. For more details see
22+
:ref:`figure-intro`.
23+
24+
Axes
25+
This is a container for what is often colloquially called a plot/chart/graph.
26+
It's a data area with:term:`Axis`\es, i.e. coordinate directions,
27+
and includes data artists like lines, bars etc. as well as
28+
decorations like title, axis labels, legend.
29+
30+
Since most "plotting operations" are realized as methods on `~.axes.Axes`
31+
this is the object users will mostly interact with.
32+
33+
Note: The term *Axes* was taken over from MATLAB. Think of this as
34+
a container spanned by the *x*- and *y*-axis, including decoration
35+
and data.
36+
37+
Axis
38+
A direction with a scale. The scale defines the mapping from
39+
data coordinates to screen coordinates. The Axis also includes
40+
the ticks and axis label.
41+
42+
Artist
43+
The base class for all graphical element that can be drawn.
44+
Examples are Lines, Rectangles, Text, Ticks, Legend, Axes, ...
