Ahh yes, mind still mushy even after a good night's sleep.  "patch" or
"background" I feel about the same.  "patch" isn't terribly mnemonic
unless you are a matlab user, but at least it points you to the base
class and is most consistent with the current name, in which the
"figure" part of "figurePatch" is simply redundant.

patch, going once, going twice,...
