Problem
In the given doc link for version 3.10(stable), it reads
Creating a new Axes will delete any preexisting Axes that overlaps with it beyond sharing a boundary:
The code is as below
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# plot a line, implicitly creating a subplot(111)
plt.plot([1, 2, 3])
# now create a subplot which represents the top plot of a grid
# with 2 rows and 1 column. Since this subplot will overlap the
# first, the plot (and its Axes) previously created, will be removed
plt.subplot(211)
I tried to run the code in colab. It turns out that subplot doesn't remove previous plotting any more.
Suggested improvement
I recall the subplot behavior does remove previous plotting. Perhaps some code change alter the behavior. The current behavior is good.
I suppose the doc should be updated to match the actual behavior.
