This is probably an acceptable solution, but you need some way of telling users the one out of six panels is not actually the default. Clearest would likely be to add a small annotation on the plot with the changed default.

You're right @jklymak , we're building consensus on #23601 on how to proceed. I'll make the changes accordingly.

If we want to add a plot with a grid (of which I'm still not convinced that it's necessary)., that'd need to be clearly separated. E.g. by a vertical line.

Mockup:

This means we have to free one Axes for this illustration. I think the lines should be in the regular part. We might get rid / reuse the colored circles for this. It's not a standard plot and does not really show something new: The color cycling is already present in the lines plot and a scatter-like picture is already included through the scatter() function.

I was suggesting just annotating the line plots with a ax.grid(True) so its clear that was used for those plots.

@timhoffm does this work or we could go with the approach you suggested

Preview:

I'm still very skeptical whether adding the grid is an improvement.

• Plus: You show what the style would look like if the grid was activate.
• Minus: You dilute the impression with a grid-on plot that is not the pure style. It is very hard to communicate that visually.

I'd rather not go down this road. But if others really want this I suggest something very explicit like:

The content of the grid example could be different if you like, I have no strong opinion here.

@Kinza-Raza sorry this fell off the radar - do you have the bandwidth to follow up on Tim's suggestion?

@story645 Might take a look at this one?

That's ok w/ me if you credit @Kinza-Raza as a co-author.

Feel free to take this up @kostyafarber

Opened a PR at #24020.

closed since #24020 went in, but I'm a little iffy if the co-authoring was done properly. Thank you @Kinza-Raza for all the work you did on this!

@Kinza-Raza Thank you for your work! Sorry if I didn't attribute you properly.

Is my fault for not aggressively flagging it, but I think we can amend the commit if we get the right name/email combo @QuLogic?

Why do you think the co-authorship is wrong on the commit? fd5cf5c

B/c @Kinza-Raza avatar isn't showing up as a co-author so I think that means it's not linking to her account.

Yeah I made sure to check one of her commits and get the correct email. But she might of changed it since then. Not sure.

Not sure why my work email showed up. The correct one is [email protected].
