Problem

• Formating graphs managed by pyplot.subplots needs a lot of redundant typing or iterating on each subplots, and I think it can be done as follows.

*for example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots(2,2, figsize=(8,8))
ax[0,0].plot(x1,y1, label='x1,y1')
ax[0,1].plot(x2,y2, label='x2,y2')
ax[1,0].plot(x3,y3, label='x3,y3')
ax[1,1].plot(x4,y4, label='x4,y4')

• Available syntax to add grid, label, legend, etc to each plots

• method-1 looping
  [ax[i,j].grid(which='both') for i in range(2) for j in range(2)]

• method-2 add grid, label, etc to each plots step by step in hardway
  ax[0,0].grid(which='both')
  ax[0,1].grid(which='both')
  ax[1,0].grid(which='both')
  ax[1,1].grid(which='both')

• Feature Requested___
  ax[0:2,0].grid(which='both') # to set for first column
  ax[:,:].grid(which='both') # to set grid for all
  ax.grid(which='both') # to set grid for all

Proposed solution

I would like to propose these way of syntax to simplify formating multiple subplots

• Feature Requested
  ax[0:2,0].grid(which='both') # to set for first column
  ax[:,:].grid(which='both') # to set grid for all
  ax.grid(which='both') # to set grid for all

thanks a lot and sorry if I do recommend this with limited understanding of your library. I request the above because I like it and want it to be better.

Have a nice day!
