[Matplotlib-users] When was axes kwarg rmoved?

[Vicki Brown]

My apologies. I'm VERY new to this and my wording was imprecise

Many _pandas methods_ have the ax argument.

>> why have two methods when one will suffice

Why force he user o go find another method when hey've already used one and only need to add one bit.

(beter wording? No?)

>> The ultimate goal of the design proposal (at least, how I view it) is to begin to unify how plotting APIs look across packages.

aka "consistency".

(you have an awesome name, btw. ;-)

This will also not eliminate any methods, contrary to your "why have two methods when one will suffice". The ultimate goal of the design proposal (at least, how I view it) is to begin to unify how plotting APIs look across packages.

Now, there have been some bugs fixed recently where unused keyword arguments were going through without emitting an error, which caused confusion when kwargs were misspelled. Perhaps this is the change that is impacting you. To be clear, I don't think it never would have done anything in the past.
