A new gridspec is set-up and the current axes are repositioned into their new \"slots\". This is working.\r\n\r\nHowever the constrained_layout solver fails (error that height or width is 0).\r\n\r\n### Proposed Solution\r\n\r\nIt seems that some work has already been performed as part of setting a colorbar. It seems to me that with some effort it would be possible to extend that solution to be more generic.\r\n\r\nOtherwise the whole layout boxes set-up could be exposed to the external API, such that the users can use it in a similar fashion.\r\n\r\n(Ideally the matploplib API could make simpler adapating the gridspec after it has been created)\r\n\r\n### Additional context and prior art\r\n\r\nNone","author":{"url":"https://github.com/juliospain","@type":"Person","name":"juliospain"},"datePublished":"2021-03-18T05:09:20.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":8},"url":"https://github.com/19730/matplotlib/issues/19730"}
