Choosing the thumbnail figure¶
This example demonstrates how to choose the figure that is displayed as the
thumbnail, if the example generates more than one figure. This is done by
specifying the keyword-value pair
sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_number = <fig number>
as a
comment somewhere below the docstring in the example file. In this example, we
specify that we wish for the second figure to be the thumbnail.
