Glossary + "anatomy of a figure" page?

[jariji]

Just an idea.

Makie uses a lot of terms in Makie-specific ways and I find it hard to remember how they're all related. It might be helpful to have a doc page with a glossary defining all the different things. Scene, Figure, Layout, Plot, Axes, axis, Observable, ...

And perhaps a diagram showing the components. Matplotlib gives a diagram showing the components in its model.

I agree, would be good to have. In Makie, it's a little less split into components, in matplotlib basically everything is a class but in Axis, for example the grid is just a couple of line primitives derived from the tick position and axis area observables
