Safest (and not really an issue) would be to just support \"auto\" and \"inherit\" with the same meaning for all those rcParams; it would also be possible to pick a single winner, use it consistently, and deprecate usage of the other, although I'm not really sure it's worth the annoyance.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/anntzer","@type":"Person","name":"anntzer"},"datePublished":"2024-04-30T14:26:06.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/28154/matplotlib/issues/28154"}
