> You're probably referring to plots with subplots. Those indeed have issues, [..] There are some annoying differences when calling Axis methods vs the global functions [..] When plotting is the basis of what a library does, and there are annoying differences encountered at such a very basic usage level, then it is not completely unreasonable to express some grievance about the syntax imposed to the user.. It is a frustrating user-experience to start encountering issues at such a fundamental level. Tweaking plots, axis and layouts is tricky. Animating a plot with a bit of control is non-trivial, although I am prepared to concede that the two are different beasts. My most recent annoyance was for something that seemed superficially easy: duplicating a left axis to a right axis, with a different label text, keeping the "original" grid and limits. Think of degree Kelvin on the left, and the equivalent in Celsius as a right axis. After more than 30 minutes of trying, I simply gave up as it was way beyond the amount of time I could justify spending on a single plot.
