How to display a matplotlib figure object

Question

I am working with a matplotlib-based routine that returns a figure and, as separate objects, the axes that it contains. Is there any way, that I can display these things and edit them (annotate, change some font sizes, things like that)? "fig.show()" doesn't work, just returns an error. Thanks.

Answer 1

Figures need a canvas to draw on.

Try fig.draw()
