I propose to close this. This would be very tedious and a single plot does not even help. We'd need two plots to illustrate what actually changed. A good textual description should get us a long way already (c.f. #26088 on moving us towards that).

This issue has been marked "inactive" because it has been 365 days since the last comment. If this issue is still present in recent Matplotlib releases, or the feature request is still wanted, please leave a comment and this label will be removed. If there are no updates in another 30 days, this issue will be automatically closed, but you are free to re-open or create a new issue if needed. We value issue reports, and this procedure is meant to help us resurface and prioritize issues that have not been addressed yet, not make them disappear. Thanks for your help!
