I request the above because I like it and want it to be better.\r\n\r\nHave a nice day!","author":{"url":"https://github.com/yaredtds","@type":"Person","name":"yaredtds"},"datePublished":"2023-09-28T07:48:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/26944/matplotlib/issues/26944"}
