I figure it's one of those things where if you know how to write a layout engine then the api docs are fine, but honestly I think a tutorial would at the least be useful for making it more discoverable and showing off its usability and how flexible it is. \n\n### Suggested improvement\n\nA tutorial, or minimally an example, of making a custom layout engine. To start, something in the style of [custom projections](https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/gallery/specialty_plots/skewt.html#sphx-glr-gallery-specialty-plots-skewt-py) or [custom units](https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/gallery/units/basic_units.html#sphx-glr-gallery-units-basic-units-py)","author":{"url":"https://github.com/story645","@type":"Person","name":"story645"},"datePublished":"2022-11-03T04:06:14.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/24347/matplotlib/issues/24347"}
