[Matplotlib-users] host_subplot figure argument

[Paul Hobson]

Hey Jerzy,

The "figure" parameter to host_subplot is documented here:
https://matplotlib.org/api/_as_gen/mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.host_subplot.html#mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes.host_subplot

Based on that page, I think it's safe to say that the OP did read the docs.
It's just not at all clear that additional Axes creation args need to be
passed.
