But it doesn't completely digest them, since they are still there, just not shown.\r\n\r\nCreating a subplot grid with `plt.subplots` and in addition adding a `plt.subplot` removes those subplots from the grid, which are under the newly created subplot.  \r\nCreating the additional subplot via `fig.add_subplot` does not remove them.\r\n\r\n**Code for reproduction**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A minimum code snippet required to reproduce the bug, also minimizing the number of dependencies required--\u003e\r\n\r\n```\r\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\r\nfig, ax = plt.subplots(2,3,\r\n                       subplot_kw={\"label\" : \"A\"}, \r\n                       gridspec_kw={'width_ratios':[1,1,3]})\r\nax[0,2].plot([1,2,3])\r\n\r\naxi = plt.subplot(133, label=\"B\")\r\naxi.plot([7,6,5], color=\"red\")\r\naxi.axis(\"off\")\r\n\r\nplt.show()\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Actual outcome**\r\n\r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23121882/41364277-8a575c6e-6f36-11e8-9b82-328490d97667.png)\r\n\r\n\r\n**Expected outcome**\r\n\r\nThe expected outcome would be the same as with `fig.add_subplot`:\r\n\r\n\r\n```\r\naxi = fig.add_subplot(133, label=\"B\")\r\naxi.plot([7,6,5], color=\"red\")\r\naxi.axis(\"off\")\r\n```\r\n\r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/23121882/41364363-b83f0c44-6f36-11e8-8672-04a78ea7938f.png)\r\n\r\n\r\n**Matplotlib version**\r\n\u003c!--Please specify your platform and versions of the relevant libraries you are using:--\u003e\r\n  * Operating system: Win 8.1\r\n  * Matplotlib version: master\r\n  * Matplotlib backend: Qt5Agg\r\n  * Python version: 3.6\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/ImportanceOfBeingErnest","@type":"Person","name":"ImportanceOfBeingErnest"},"datePublished":"2018-06-13T16:25:04.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":7},"url":"https://github.com/11435/matplotlib/issues/11435"}
