While important, it is something that most users have to do only once, whereas they (hopefully) will consult the rest of the docs more than once; therefore, it could be made slightly less tall.\n\n### Suggested improvement\n\nThe current panels:\r\n![current](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1322974/135594990-4026d111-d3cc-443f-9fe0-867f6c6b38b5.png)\r\nwithout scrolling (and with a \"released\" version), the page cuts on my screen just after \"API reference\".\r\n\r\nA few options (just some quick hacks, certainly better styling is possible):\r\n![alt1](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1322974/135595487-c93120ac-3697-4e98-ab24-b3309023b1d4.png)\r\n![alt2](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1322974/135595183-c9efefbd-8dd2-4595-94a9-9c86700c42db.png)\r\n![alt3](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1322974/135595187-2e8aa5ab-77cf-4815-840d-eccd1ce1e5ab.png)\r\nOn my screen, without scrolling, the page cuts after the link to pyplot.figure with the first and last design, and after the link to pyplot.subplots_mosaic after the middle one.  I think having these immediately visible is nice to have.\r\n\r\n\u003cdetails\u003e\r\n\u003csummary\u003eFor reference, the rst sources\u003c/summary\u003e\r\n(comment out the unused ones)\r\n\r\n```rst\r\n.. code-block:: bash\r\n\r\n   # Using conda:\r\n   conda install matplotlib\r\n   # Or using pip:\r\n   pip install matplotlib\r\n\r\n.. csv-table::\r\n   :widths: 1 3\r\n\r\n   Using `conda \u003chttps://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/\u003e`__,``conda install matplotlib``\r\n   Using `pip \u003chttps://pypi.org/project/matplotlib\u003e`__,``pip install matplotlib``\r\n\r\n.. csv-table::\r\n   :widths: 1 2 1 2\r\n\r\n   Using `conda \u003chttps://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/\u003e`__:,``conda install matplotlib``,Using `pip \u003chttps://pypi.org/project/matplotlib\u003e`__:,``pip install matplotlib``\r\n```\r\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n### Matplotlib Version\n\nmaster\n\n### Matplotlib documentation version\n\n(local build)","author":{"url":"https://github.com/anntzer","@type":"Person","name":"anntzer"},"datePublished":"2021-10-01T09:13:43.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/21246/matplotlib/issues/21246"}
