{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"[ENH]: enable passing of projection keyword to Axes.inset_axes","articleBody":"### Problem\r\n\r\nMost methods to create an `Axes` instance (e.g. [Figure.add_axes](https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/figure_api.html?highlight=add_axes#matplotlib.figure.Figure.add_axes), [pyplot.subplot](https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.subplot.html?highlight=subplot#matplotlib.pyplot.subplot)) allow passing of the `projection` keyword in order to return an instance of a subclass of `Axes`.  It would be useful if [Axes.inset_axes](https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.inset_axes.html?highlight=inset_axes#matplotlib.axes.Axes.inset_axes) could do the same.\r\n\r\nSee also #22608 where there was some agreement that this would be useful, but that was not the right solution.\r\n\r\n### Proposed solution\r\n\r\nI'm unfamilar with the Matplotlib codebase, but I _think_ the relevant functionality is contained within [Figure._process_projection_requirements](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/09b17b128440e18cec4a0958dd2dc5b86c9bd146/lib/matplotlib/figure.py#L1524).  So perhaps `inset_axes` could reuse that somehow.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rcomer","@type":"Person","name":"rcomer"},"datePublished":"2022-03-09T15:09:28.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/22630/matplotlib/issues/22630"}
