Description
Bug summary
Large initial window (1200x800): MRE fails to show all plots correctly.
Resizing MRE window smaller: MRE then shows all plots correctly.
On initial run I should get 4 graphs in a 2 x 2 grid on screen. Except instead I get 1 graph and the others off screen. When I resize the window to a much smaller window the other graphs show up as expected in the much smaller window.
Code for reproduction

Actual outcome
system details:
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel: Linux 6.12.25+rpt-rpi-v8
Architecture: arm64
Python version: 3.11.x (from your logs)
Matplotlib version: 3.10.1
Tkinter version: 8.6 (from your MRE logs)
Tcl version: 8.6 (from your MRE logs)
Expected outcome
As the window resizes the graphs should resize with the window and display all 4.
