That's easy enough to fix as they do have an `axis` variable available. However, I noticed that it is annotated as `Axis | None`, and then looking at our classes, they are also annotated as `Axis | None`.\n\nBut looking at `_make_axis_parameter_optional`, it only pops the first argument if it is an `Axis` instance. Should it also be handling `None`? I'm not sure if this is possible with a generic decorator, or whether we need to use `_api.select_matching_signature` in each class `__init__`.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/QuLogic","@type":"Person","name":"QuLogic"},"datePublished":"2026-04-30T07:49:09.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/31590/matplotlib/issues/31590"}| route-pattern | /_view_fragments/issues/show/:user_id/:repository/:id/issue_layout(.:format) |
