Suggestion: *artist property*.\r\n\r\nInspired by #22451.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/timhoffm","@type":"Person","name":"timhoffm"},"datePublished":"2022-02-12T20:42:40.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/22460/matplotlib/issues/22460"}
