59+ ``*args`` can be a single ``(left, bottom, width, height)``
60+ rectangle or a single `matplotlib.transforms.Bbox`. This specifies
61+ the rectangle (in figure coordinates) where the Axes is positioned.
62+ ``*args`` can also consist of three numbers or a single three-digit
63+ number; in the latter case, the digits are considered as
64+ independent numbers. The numbers are interpreted as ``(nrows,
65+ ncols, index)``: ``(nrows, ncols)`` specifies the size of an array
66+ of subplots, and ``index`` is the 1-based index of the subplot
67+ being created. Finally, ``*args`` can also directly be a
68+ `matplotlib.gridspec.SubplotSpec` instance.
