Are you sure you understood ?-)
There's nothing in your program to tell the compiler that the argument
to add_figure is supposed to be a figure.

    method add_figure (f : figure) =
      figures <- f#to_string :: figures

Or, if you want to avoid coercions when calling #add_figure,

    method add_figure : 'a. (#figure as 'a) -> unit = fun f ->
      figures <- f#to_string :: figures
