In matplotlib axes is not the plural of axis. It has its own meaning specific to the API. And at the same time it's the plural form of another word (axis) which is also relevant in this context and it sounds almost identical when pronounced.
- fault1 5y agoI like the wording in the MATLAB docs (since Matlab committed the original sin, the axes/axis/figure API has been around since the late '80s, matplotlib is just a port to python): https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/axes.html https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/axes.html https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/axis.html https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/axis.html https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/figure.html https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/figure.html So they emphasize the cartesianess of the axes.
