Thanks for thinking of a way to improve Matplotlib.\r\n\r\n\r\nBefore creating a new feature request please search the issues for relevant feature requests.\r\n--\u003e\r\n\r\n### Problem\r\n\r\nI was just messing aroung with trying to see if I could use the (super nice!) `plt.subplot_mosaic` function with a mixture of 2d and 3d axes, but didn't get anywhere. Looking into it, it seems like it could be possible with `subplot_kw = {\"projection\": \"3d\"}`, but this is static across the different subplots (or more accurately, calls to `plt.add_subplot`).\r\n\r\n\r\n### Proposed Solution\r\n\r\nFrom looking at the source code (specifically at these line in `gridspec.py`, since that's where I believe the function calls eventually end up) it seems like it may be possible to package `subplot_kw`s in an object of size `_nrows` x `_ncols`, since that is the dimensions iterated over.https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/9c530bce8d9c25afee831310382b98e01a96146f/lib/matplotlib/gridspec.py#L299-L308\r\n\r\nThe only part that's unclear to me from an implementation standpoint is whether this would necessitate a new kwarg itself, or perhaps one can use single dispatch or conditional logic to handle the case where `subplot_kw` is not dict-like.\r\n\r\nHappy to have a go if this is desired and/or the functionality exists already and I'm blindsighted to it :)\r\n\u003c!--\r\nProvide a clear and concise description of the problem this feature will solve. \r\n\r\nFor example:\r\n* I'm always frustrated when [...] because [...]\r\n* I would like it if [...] happened when I [...] because [...]\r\n* Here is a sample image of what I am asking for [...]\r\n--\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Provide a clear and concise description of a way to accomplish what you want.

I think it would be super neat to be able to do all this from one call to `plt.subplots` :D\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. You can also include links to examples of other programs that have something similar to your request.
