title: Python with matplotlib - drawing multiple figures in parallel
body: <p>I have functions that contribute to small parts of a figure generation. I'm trying to use these functions to generate multiple figures? So something like this:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>work with Figure 1</li>
  <li>do something else</li>
  <li>work with Figure 2</li>
  <li>do something else</li>
  <li>work with Figure 1</li>
  <li>do something else</li>
  <li>work with Figure 2</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>If anyone could help, that'd be great!</p>
