Re: [matplotlib-devel] Alternative way of specifying plot layout

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

That is neat. I would be sure to put in some "..seealso::" lines in places
like plt.subplots and GridSpec and such.

A thought... could this perhaps be extended somehow to specify colorbars in
the layout? I am not sure how I would do that, but if we could come up with
a way to do it, *that* would make this a killer feature. But even without
that, this is still pretty useful.
