Sorry - I accidentally sent this reply just to Nathaniel - returning

Yes, I think that would be a better default.
You mean that if :context: is true, then always do something like
``plt.close('all')`` before running the relevant code and looking for
figures.
It would change the current behavior, but I agree that would be better.
Anyone disagree?
If not, I will make a pull request to change the behavior...
Cheers,
Matthew
