<h3>Constrained layout rewrite<a class="headerlink" href="#constrained-layout-rewrite" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h3>
<p>The layout manager <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">constrained_layout</span></code> was re-written with different outer
constraints that should be more robust to complicated subplot layouts.
User-facing changes are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>some poorly constrained layouts will have different width/height plots than
before.</p></li>
<li><p>colorbars now respect the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">anchor</span></code> keyword argument of
<a class="reference internal" href="../colorbar_api.html#matplotlib.colorbar.make_axes" title="matplotlib.colorbar.make_axes"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">matplotlib.colorbar.make_axes</span></code></a></p></li>
<li><p>colorbars are wider.</p></li>
<li><p>colorbars in different rows or columns line up more robustly.</p></li>
<li><p><em>hspace</em> and <em>wspace</em> options to <a class="reference internal" href="../_as_gen/matplotlib.figure.Figure.set_constrained_layout_pads.html#matplotlib.figure.Figure.set_constrained_layout_pads" title="matplotlib.figure.Figure.set_constrained_layout_pads"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Figure.set_constrained_layout_pads</span></code></a> were
twice as wide as the docs said they should be. So these now follow the docs.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>This feature will remain "experimental" until the new changes have been used
enough by users, so we anticipate version 3.5 or 3.6. On the other hand,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">constrained_layout</span></code> is extensively tested and used in examples in the
library, so using it should be safe, but layouts may not be exactly the same as
more development takes place.</p>
<p>Details of using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">constrained_layout</span></code>, and its algorithm are available at

<h3><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">plt.subplot</span></code> re-selection without keyword arguments<a class="headerlink" href="#plt-subplot-re-selection-without-keyword-arguments" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h3>
<p>The purpose of <a class="reference internal" href="../_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.subplot.html#matplotlib.pyplot.subplot" title="matplotlib.pyplot.subplot"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pyplot.subplot</span></code></a> is to facilitate creating and re-selecting
Axes in a Figure when working strictly in the implicit pyplot API. When
creating new Axes it is possible to select the projection (e.g. polar, 3D, or
various cartographic projections) as well as to pass additional keyword
arguments through to the Axes-subclass that is created.</p>
<p>The first time <a class="reference internal" href="../_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.subplot.html#matplotlib.pyplot.subplot" title="matplotlib.pyplot.subplot"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pyplot.subplot</span></code></a> is called for a given position in the Axes
grid it always creates and returns a new Axes with the passed arguments and
projection (defaulting to rectilinear). On subsequent calls to
<a class="reference internal" href="../_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.subplot.html#matplotlib.pyplot.subplot" title="matplotlib.pyplot.subplot"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pyplot.subplot</span></code></a> we have to determine if an existing Axes has a) equivalent
parameters, in which case it should be selected as the current Axes and
returned, or b) different parameters, in which case a new Axes is created and
the existing Axes is removed. This leaves the question of what is "equivalent
parameters".</p>
<p>Previously it was the case that an existing Axes subclass, except for Axes3D,
would be considered equivalent to a 2D rectilinear Axes, despite having
different projections, if the keyword arguments (other than <em>projection</em>)
matched. Thus:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">ax1</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">plt</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">subplot</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">1</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">projection</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">'polar'</span><span class="p">)</span>

<span class="n">ax1</span> <span class="ow">is</span> <span class="n">ax2</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>We are embracing this long standing behavior to ensure that in the case when no
keyword arguments (of any sort) are passed to <a class="reference internal" href="../_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.subplot.html#matplotlib.pyplot.subplot" title="matplotlib.pyplot.subplot"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pyplot.subplot</span></code></a> any existing
Axes is returned, without consideration for keywords or projection used to
initially create it. This will cause a change in behavior when additional
keywords were passed to the original Axes:</p>
