python - How can I show figures separately in matplotlib?

Question

Say that I have two figures in matplotlib, with one plot per figure:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

f1 = plt.figure()
plt.plot(range(0,10))
f2 = plt.figure()
plt.plot(range(10,20))

Then I show both in one shot

plt.show()

Is there a way to show them separately, i.e. to show just f1?

Or better: how can I manage the figures separately like in the following 'wishful' code (that doesn't work):

f1 = plt.figure()
f1.plot(range(0,10))
f1.show()

Sure. Add an Axes using add_subplot. (Edited import.) (Edited show.)

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
f1 = plt.figure()
f2 = plt.figure()
ax1 = f1.add_subplot(111)
ax1.plot(range(0,10))
ax2 = f2.add_subplot(111)
ax2.plot(range(10,20))
plt.show()

Alternatively, use add_axes.

ax1 = f1.add_axes([0.1,0.1,0.8,0.8])
ax1.plot(range(0,10))
ax2 = f2.add_axes([0.1,0.1,0.8,0.8])
ax2.plot(range(10,20))
