Is there any way to delete a figure in the makie_context?

[FaresX]

My program requires frequent creation and destruction of figures. I want to delete the specific figure binding to some id and reuse this id. If it's not possible now, I hope this type of function can be provided in future versions.

I have been thinking about that actually because I'll probably need this too. For context, the implementation is that there's a makie_context dictionary somewhat akin to an ImGuiContext: https://github.com/Gnimuc/CImGui.jl/blob/82ad0535bc2c7f886d635723483ff0225b607bed/ext/MakieIntegration.jl#L30

If you want to hack around it for now, you'll need to delete the entry for the figure in that dictionary. Something like this (untested):

function delete_figure!(title_id)
    extension_module = Base.get_extension(ig, :MakieIntegration)
    delete!(extension_module.makie_context, ig.GetID(title_id))
end

It seems that this line changes the id. I cannot dermine the actual id. https://github.com/Gnimuc/CImGui.jl/blob/82ad0535bc2c7f886d635723483ff0225b607bed/ext/MakieIntegration.jl#L119

Ah right. Then you'd need to iterate through the values() and find the ImMakieFigure for which immakiefigure.figure === my_figure.

You are right. This issue #150 has no effect now. Great!
