I am not sure what is supposed to be automatic and what is not in sphinx but `axes.SubplotBase` is for example not included in the documentation even though most `axes` used in matplotlib are probably of that class.\r\n\r\n`.. automodule:: matplotlib.axes` does not work even though `Axes` and `SubplotBase` exist in that module.\r\n`.. automodule:: matplotlib.axes._subplots` works as I would expect but the paths are wrong.\r\n\r\n`from matplotlib.axes import SubplotBase, Axes` works but the class of actual objects are using the full path, for example `matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot` \r\n\r\nI don't know much of module structures or module aliases but I think it is kind of inconvenient when different paths are used in different places and I believe that more work than needed is necessary to write the documentation correctly. See for example #11443.\r\n\r\nIs it possibly to get a module structure such that the `obj.__class__`  path is the same as the alias path, i.e. `axes.Axes` is always used instead of `axes._axes.Axes`? \r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/fredrik-1","@type":"Person","name":"fredrik-1"},"datePublished":"2018-06-16T10:59:21.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/11445/matplotlib/issues/11445"}
