Add subfigure_mosaic method to FigureBase for creating subfigure layouts #28508
Conversation
Implemented subfigure_mosaic method to build complex GridSpec layouts using ASCII art or nested lists. This method supports shared axes, custom width and height ratios, and empty sentinel handling for creating a layout of SubFigures within a figure.

I'm not sure such a feature is really wanted, but even if it is, you appear to have removed subplot_mosaic which obviously has to stay. |
|
To me this feels like YAGNI. Do you have concrete examples where this will help? |

This would close #25949. Note that there is an existing orphaned PR #26061. I haven’t looked at the detail but #28170 (comment) suggests we might need #28177 first. |

I'll move this to draft as its not ready for review. |

Where #26061 got stuck was the inability to easily get the "first parent" figure. |

I'm in favor of this feature, (although I don't think that it needs to support sharex/sharey) either via this PR or the other one (on first glance I'm partial to the other one, but that may just be familiarity). I think dropping subplot_mosaic was a typo (as subfigure_mosaic is defined twice). |

PR summary
This change allows users to create intricate subfigure layouts within a matplotlib figure, enhancing the flexibility and usability of the plotting library. The new feature enables the creation of subfigures using a mosaic layout, providing more control over the figure design.
