Choosing the thumbnail figure

This example demonstrates how to choose the figure that is displayed as the thumbnail, if the example generates more than one figure. This is done by specifying the keyword-value pair mkdocs_gallery_thumbnail_number = <fig number> as a comment somewhere below the docstring in the example file. In this example, we specify that we wish for the second figure to be the thumbnail.
