Description
Problem
At least 2 of the arguments passed to Figure.__init__ do not have matching get_{kwarg}/set_{kwarg} methods on Figure which makes using fig.set(...) inconsistent with what can be done via Figure(...).
xref #21549 which was motivated by this and includes an implementation of the solution (along with some additional refactoring).
Proposed solution
See #21549 for a majority of the implementation. cherry-picking commits from that branch and dropping the layout management refactoring is a very good start.
- use alias mechanism for
size_inches->figsize - add
get/set_subplotparams - use alias mechanism from
layout->layout_engine - tests!
- whats new entry
Labeling this as good first issue because it is limited scope and easy because there is an existing implementation. There will be a discussion of API consistency so I think familiarity with Matplotlib's explicit API would be very helpful.
