  "description": "`clf` clears the contents of the current figure while keeping the figure handle itself alive. RunMat also accepts explicit figure handles and the `'all'` selector to clear multiple figures. The compatibility keyword `'reset'` is currently parsed but behaves the same as plain `clf`.",
  "behaviors": [
    "`clf()` clears the current figure.",
    "`clf(handle)` clears the specified figure handle.",
    "`clf('all')` clears every known figure and returns the number of figures that were cleared.",
    "`clf(handle1, handle2, ...)` clears multiple figures and returns the number cleared when more than one handle is supplied.",
    "`clf('reset')` is currently treated the same as plain `clf`."
  ],
  "examples": [
    {
      "description": "Clear the current figure after plotting",
      "input": "figure(1);\nplot(1:5, [1 4 2 5 3]);\nout = clf()",
      "output": "% out is the cleared figure handle"

      "description": "Clear a specific figure by handle",
      "input": "figure(3);\nplot(1:5, 1:5);\nout = clf(3)",
      "output": "out = 3"

      "description": "Clear every figure",
      "input": "figure(1); plot(1:5, 1:5);\nfigure(2); plot(1:5, [5 4 3 2 1]);\ncount = clf(\"all\")",
      "output": "count = 2"

  "faqs": [
    {
      "question": "Does `clf` delete the figure handle itself?",
      "answer": "No. It clears the figure contents but keeps the figure handle selected and available."
    },
    {
      "question": "What does `clf('reset')` do today?",
      "answer": "RunMat parses the keyword for compatibility, but the current implementation treats it the same as plain `clf`."
    },
    {
      "question": "What does `clf('all')` return?",
      "answer": "It returns the number of figures that were cleared. When no figures exist, it returns `0`."
