I think this statement of equivalence is confusing, because it claims what sounds to me like two different behaviors, are actually the same.\r\n\r\nCan we elaborate on the equivalence, perhaps making it more clear what `draw_idle` means?\r\n\r\nAlso, on that page, can we link to the docs for `draw_idle` (if there are docs on it)?\n\n### Suggested improvement\n\nI am not familiar with `matplotlib` enough to make a quality suggestion here.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jamesbraza","@type":"Person","name":"jamesbraza"},"datePublished":"2022-12-02T00:34:29.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/24578/matplotlib/issues/24578"}
