No, it's because I'm developing other code in parallel and I thought
I needed it, but in the end it was the canvas size I needed. So the
get_figure_position can be removed.

Indeed.

I also think that putting this class into a separated header will get me
into trouble, because of the classes dependencies. I think I'll put it
into graphics.h.in and generate a new patch. Any objection?
