Add ability to pass different kwargs when adding different subplots simultaneously throughplt.subplots
#20392

We have a way to do this already, which is to make the gridspec and then add the axes individually. I'm not sure how constructing an array of dicts is a preferable interface. |

That's fair, though that gets tedious for complicated layouts -- helper functions in |

You cannot change an axes' projection trivially. However, you can get the subplotspec and make a new axes like: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
axs = fig.subplot_mosaic([['A', 'B'], ['C', 'B']])
ss = axs['B'].get_subplotspec()
axs['B'].remove()
axs['B'] = fig.add_subplot(ss, projection='3d')
plt.show() |

Ah, this makes a lot of sense! That covers my particular use case, thanks :) Happy for the issue to be closed if you don't deem the original post to be an appropriate feature, but also open to more discussion! |

I guess I'm somewhat against trying to make the API for subplot_mosaic too complicated. Note we also have subfigures, which is another way of dealing with different projections in the same figure: https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/subplots_axes_and_figures/subfigures.html |

I'll close here, and we can continue discussion on discourse.matplotlib.org... https://discourse.matplotlib.org/t/modifying-an-axessubplot-to-be-3d-in-the-context-of-plt-subplot-mosaic/22158 |
Problem
I was just messing aroung with trying to see if I could use the (super nice!)
plt.subplot_mosaicfunction with a mixture of 2d and 3d axes, but didn't get anywhere. Looking into it, it seems like it could be possible withsubplot_kw = {"projection": "3d"}, but this is static across the different subplots (or more accurately, calls toplt.add_subplot).Proposed Solution
From looking at the source code (specifically at these line in
gridspec.py, since that's where I believe the function calls eventually end up) it seems like it may be possible to packagesubplot_kws in an object of size_nrowsx_ncols, since that is the dimensions iterated over.matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/gridspec.py

The only part that's unclear to me from an implementation standpoint is whether this would necessitate a new kwarg itself, or perhaps one can use single dispatch or conditional logic to handle the case where
subplot_kwis not dict-like.Happy to have a go if this is desired and/or the functionality exists already and I'm blindsighted to it :)
Additional context and prior art
Could be many scenarios where one would want to control each subplot! I think it would be super neat to be able to do all this from one call to
plt.subplots:DThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
