            The figure patch facecolor.

        edgecolor : default: :rc:`figure.edgecolor`
            The figure patch edge color.

        linewidth : float
            The linewidth of the frame (i.e. the edge linewidth of the figure
            patch).

        frameon : bool, default: :rc:`figure.frameon`
            If ``False``, suppress drawing the figure background patch.

        subplotpars : `SubplotParams`
            Subplot parameters. If not given, the default subplot
            parameters :rc:`figure.subplot.*` are used.

        tight_layout : bool or dict, default: :rc:`figure.autolayout`
            If ``False`` use *subplotpars*. If ``True`` adjust subplot
            parameters using `.tight_layout` with default padding.

        verticalalignment, va : {'top', 'center', 'bottom', 'baseline'}, \
default: 'top'
            The vertical alignment of the text relative to (*x*, *y*).

        fontsize, size : default: :rc:`figure.titlesize`
            The font size of the text. See `.Text.set_size` for possible
            values.

        fontweight, weight : default: :rc:`figure.titleweight`

        -------
        text
            The `.Text` instance of the title.

        Other Parameters
        ----------------
        fontproperties : None or dict, optional

        Returns
        -------
        `~.axes.Axes`, or a subclass of `~.axes.Axes`

            rectilinear axes class `~.axes.Axes` can be found in
            the following table but there might also be other keyword
            arguments if another projection is used, see the actual axes
            class.

            %(Axes)s

        Notes
        -----
        If the figure already has an axes with key (*args*,
        *kwargs*) then it will simply make that axes current and
        return it.  This behavior is deprecated. Meanwhile, if you do
        not want this behavior (i.e., you want to force the creation of a
        new axes), you must use a unique set of args and kwargs.  The axes
        *label* attribute has been exposed for this purpose: if you want
        two axes that are otherwise identical to be added to the figure,
        make sure you give them unique labels.

        In rare circumstances, `.add_axes` may be called with a single
        argument, a axes instance already created in the present figure but
        not in the figure's list of axes.

           add_subplot(pos, **kwargs)
           add_subplot(ax)
           add_subplot()

        Parameters
        ----------
        *args : int, (int, int, *index*), or `.SubplotSpec`, default: (1, 1, 1)
            The position of the subplot described by one of

            - Three integers (*nrows*, *ncols*, *index*). The subplot will
              take the *index* position on a grid with *nrows* rows and
              *ncols* columns. *index* starts at 1 in the upper left corner
              and increases to the right.  *index* can also be a two-tuple
              specifying the (*first*, *last*) indices (1-based, and including
              *last*) of the subplot, e.g., ``fig.add_subplot(3, 1, (1, 2))``
              makes a subplot that spans the upper 2/3 of the figure.
            - A 3-digit integer. The digits are interpreted as if given
              separately as three single-digit integers, i.e.
              ``fig.add_subplot(235)`` is the same as
              ``fig.add_subplot(2, 3, 5)``. Note that this can only be used
              if there are no more than 9 subplots.
            - A `.SubplotSpec`.

            In rare circumstances, `.add_subplot` may be called with a single
            argument, a subplot axes instance already created in the
            present figure but not in the figure's list of axes.

        projection : {None, 'aitoff', 'hammer', 'lambert', 'mollweide', \
'polar', 'rectilinear', str}, optional
            The projection type of the subplot (`~.axes.Axes`). *str* is the
            name of a custom projection, see `~matplotlib.projections`. The
            default None results in a 'rectilinear' projection.

        polar : bool, default: False
            If True, equivalent to projection='polar'.

        sharex, sharey : `~.axes.Axes`, optional
            Share the x or y `~matplotlib.axis` with sharex and/or sharey.
            The axis will have the same limits, ticks, and scale as the axis
            of the shared axes.

        label : str
            A label for the returned axes.

        Returns
        -------
        `.axes.SubplotBase`, or another subclass of `~.axes.Axes`

            The axes of the subplot. The returned axes base class depends on
            the projection used. It is `~.axes.Axes` if rectilinear projection
            is used and `.projections.polar.PolarAxes` if polar projection
            is used. The returned axes is then a subplot subclass of the
            base class.

        Other Parameters
        ----------------
        **kwargs
            This method also takes the keyword arguments for the returned axes
            base class; except for the *figure* argument. The keyword arguments
            for the rectilinear base class `~.axes.Axes` can be found in
            the following table but there might also be other keyword
            arguments if another projection is used.

            %(Axes)s

        Notes
        -----
        If the figure already has a subplot with key (*args*,
        *kwargs*) then it will simply make that subplot current and
        return it.  This behavior is deprecated. Meanwhile, if you do
        not want this behavior (i.e., you want to force the creation of a
        new subplot), you must use a unique set of args and kwargs.  The axes
        *label* attribute has been exposed for this purpose: if you want
        two subplots that are otherwise identical to be added to the figure,
        make sure you give them unique labels.

        Add a set of subplots to this figure.

        This utility wrapper makes it convenient to create common layouts of
        subplots in a single call.

        Parameters
        ----------
        nrows, ncols : int, default: 1
            Number of rows/columns of the subplot grid.

        sharex, sharey : bool or {'none', 'all', 'row', 'col'}, default: False
            Controls sharing of properties among x (*sharex*) or y (*sharey*)
            axes:

            - True or 'all': x- or y-axis will be shared among all subplots.
            - False or 'none': each subplot x- or y-axis will be independent.
            - 'row': each subplot row will share an x- or y-axis.
            - 'col': each subplot column will share an x- or y-axis.

            When subplots have a shared x-axis along a column, only the x tick
            labels of the bottom subplot are created. Similarly, when subplots
            have a shared y-axis along a row, only the y tick labels of the
            first column subplot are created. To later turn other subplots'
            ticklabels on, use `~matplotlib.axes.Axes.tick_params`.

        squeeze : bool, default: True
            - If True, extra dimensions are squeezed out from the returned
              array of Axes:

              - if only one subplot is constructed (nrows=ncols=1), the
                resulting single Axes object is returned as a scalar.
              - for Nx1 or 1xM subplots, the returned object is a 1D numpy
                object array of Axes objects.
              - for NxM, subplots with N>1 and M>1 are returned as a 2D array.

            - If False, no squeezing at all is done: the returned Axes object
              is always a 2D array containing Axes instances, even if it ends
              up being 1x1.

        subplot_kw : dict, optional
            Dict with keywords passed to the `.Figure.add_subplot` call used to
            create each subplot.

        gridspec_kw : dict, optional
            Dict with keywords passed to the
            `~matplotlib.gridspec.GridSpec` constructor used to create
            the grid the subplots are placed on.

        Returns
        -------
        `~.axes.Axes` or array of Axes
            Either a single `~matplotlib.axes.Axes` object or an array of Axes
            objects if more than one subplot was created. The dimensions of the
            resulting array can be controlled with the *squeeze* keyword, see
            above.

        .. note ::

           This API is provisional and may be revised in the future based on
           early user feedback.


        Parameters
        ----------
        layout : list of list of {hashable or nested} or str

            A visual layout of how you want your Axes to be arranged
            labeled as strings.  For example ::

               x = [['A panel', 'A panel', 'edge'],
                    ['C panel', '.',       'edge']]

            Produces 4 axes:

            - 'A panel' which is 1 row high and spans the first two columns
            - 'edge' which is 2 rows high and is on the right edge
            - 'C panel' which in 1 row and 1 column wide in the bottom left
            - a blank space 1 row and 1 column wide in the bottom center

            Any of the entries in the layout can be a list of lists
            of the same form to create nested layouts.

            If input is a str, then it must be of the form ::

              '''
              AAE
              C.E
              '''

            where each character is a column and each line is a row.
            This only allows only single character Axes labels and does
            not allow nesting but is very terse.

        subplot_kw : dict, optional
            Dictionary with keywords passed to the `.Figure.add_subplot` call
            used to create each subplot.

        gridspec_kw : dict, optional
            Dictionary with keywords passed to the `.GridSpec` constructor used
            to create the grid the subplots are placed on.

        empty_sentinel : object, optional
            Entry in the layout to mean "leave this space empty".  Defaults
            to ``'.'``. Note, if *layout* is a string, it is processed via
            `inspect.cleandoc` to remove leading white space, which may
            interfere with using white-space as the empty sentinel.

        Returns

                  frameon=None, metadata=None)

        The available output formats depend on the backend being used.

        Parameters
        ----------
        fname : str or path-like or file-like
            A path, or a Python file-like object, or
            possibly some backend-dependent object such as
            `matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf.PdfPages`.

            If *format* is set, it determines the output format, and the file
            is saved as *fname*.  Note that *fname* is used verbatim, and there
            is no attempt to make the extension, if any, of *fname* match
            *format*, and no extension is appended.

            If *format* is not set, then the format is inferred from the
            extension of *fname*, if there is one.  If *format* is not
            set and *fname* has no extension, then the file is saved with
            :rc:`savefig.format` and the appropriate extension is appended to
            *fname*.

        Other Parameters
        ----------------
        dpi : float or 'figure', default: :rc:`savefig.dpi`
            The resolution in dots per inch.  If 'figure', use the figure's
            dpi value.

        quality : int, default: :rc:`savefig.jpeg_quality`
            Applicable only if *format* is 'jpg' or 'jpeg', ignored otherwise.

            The image quality, on a scale from 1 (worst) to 95 (best).
            Values above 95 should be avoided; 100 disables portions of
            the JPEG compression algorithm, and results in large files
            with hardly any gain in image quality.

            This parameter is deprecated.

        optimize : bool, default: False
            Applicable only if *format* is 'jpg' or 'jpeg', ignored otherwise.

            Whether the encoder should make an extra pass over the image
            in order to select optimal encoder settings.

            This parameter is deprecated.

        progressive : bool, default: False
            Applicable only if *format* is 'jpg' or 'jpeg', ignored otherwise.

            Whether the image should be stored as a progressive JPEG file.

            This parameter is deprecated.

        facecolor : color or 'auto', default: :rc:`savefig.facecolor`
            The facecolor of the figure.  If 'auto', use the current figure
            facecolor.

        edgecolor : color or 'auto', default: :rc:`savefig.edgecolor`
            The edgecolor of the figure.  If 'auto', use the current figure
            edgecolor.

        orientation : {'landscape', 'portrait'}
            Currently only supported by the postscript backend.

        papertype : str
            One of 'letter', 'legal', 'executive', 'ledger', 'a0' through
            'a10', 'b0' through 'b10'. Only supported for postscript
            output.

        format : str
            The file format, e.g. 'png', 'pdf', 'svg', ... The behavior when
            this is unset is documented under *fname*.

        transparent : bool
            If *True*, the axes patches will all be transparent; the
            figure patch will also be transparent unless facecolor
            and/or edgecolor are specified via kwargs.
            This is useful, for example, for displaying
            a plot on top of a colored background on a web page.  The
            transparency of these patches will be restored to their
            original values upon exit of this function.

        bbox_inches : str or `.Bbox`, default: :rc:`savefig.bbox`
            Bounding box in inches: only the given portion of the figure is
            saved.  If 'tight', try to figure out the tight bbox of the figure.

        pad_inches : float, default: :rc:`savefig.pad_inches`
            Amount of padding around the figure when bbox_inches is 'tight'.

        bbox_extra_artists : list of `~matplotlib.artist.Artist`, optional
            A list of extra artists that will be considered when the
            tight bbox is calculated.

        backend : str, optional
            Use a non-default backend to render the file, e.g. to render a
            png file with the "cairo" backend rather than the default "agg",
            or a pdf file with the "pgf" backend rather than the default
            "pdf".  Note that the default backend is normally sufficient.  See
            :ref:`the-builtin-backends` for a list of valid backends for each
            file format.  Custom backends can be referenced as "module://...".

        metadata : dict, optional
            Key/value pairs to store in the image metadata. The supported keys
            and defaults depend on the image format and backend:

            - 'png' with Agg backend: See the parameter ``metadata`` of
              `~.FigureCanvasAgg.print_png`.
            - 'pdf' with pdf backend: See the parameter ``metadata`` of
              `~.backend_pdf.PdfPages`.
            - 'svg' with svg backend: See the parameter ``metadata`` of
              `~.FigureCanvasSVG.print_svg`.
            - 'eps' and 'ps' with PS backend: Only 'Creator' is supported.

        pil_kwargs : dict, optional
            Additional keyword arguments that are passed to
            `PIL.Image.Image.save` when saving the figure.

def figaspect(arg):
    """
    Calculate the width and height for a figure with a specified aspect ratio.

    While the height is taken from :rc:`figure.figsize`, the width is
    adjusted to match the desired aspect ratio. Additionally, it is ensured
    that the width is in the range [4., 16.] and the height is in the range
    [2., 16.]. If necessary, the default height is adjusted to ensure this.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arg : float or 2d array
        If a float, this defines the aspect ratio (i.e. the ratio height /
        width).
        In case of an array the aspect ratio is number of rows / number of
        columns, so that the array could be fitted in the figure undistorted.

    Returns
    -------
    width, height
        The figure size in inches.

    Notes
    -----
    If you want to create an axes within the figure, that still preserves the
    aspect ratio, be sure to create it with equal width and height. See
    examples below.

    Thanks to Fernando Perez for this function.

    Examples
    --------
    Make a figure twice as tall as it is wide::
