At that time, the typehint of `plt.subplots` is better than the typehint provided by matplotlib itself. You can see the differences below:\r\n\r\nLet's see the embedded typehint for plt.subplots. I made it available by changing the Matplotlib version to 3.7. It can identify the `ax` type correctly.\r\n\r\nHowever, after upgrading to matplotlib 3.8. [The VSCode use the type stub provided by matplotlib instead of the one embedded by itself](https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/4351#issuecomment-1737986648). And it cannot get the corrent type for `ax`.\r\n\r\n![image](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/assets/35998162/00d40d1a-49b5-469e-9065-9bce16bfd4b6)\r\n![image](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/assets/35998162/23bf42f0-260f-406a-8fd4-3f3a42ad3430)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n### Proposed solution\r\n\r\nAdapt the type stub provided by VSCode. You can see them in https://github.com/microsoft/python-type-stubs/blob/102c1448f7504d6450a221ae9c29a260fa741a30/matplotlib/pyplot.pyi#L200C1-L209C30.\r\n\r\nI tried just putting the `pyplot.pyi` file in the `pyplot.py` folder. It works. So maybe we can do it in repo.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/cesaryuan","@type":"Person","name":"cesaryuan"},"datePublished":"2024-05-15T03:28:27.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/28226/matplotlib/issues/28226"}
