Can you give an example of its inconsistency? I would be genuinely interested what are the inconsistency from a Python-perspective. I am former Matlab/Octave

  Somewhere you can use c="k" for colour but sometimes you cannot, you must use color="k". Some settings only exposed to figure class but not the ax class. And when you are doing stuff towards ax class, you must write ax.set_ylim(0,3) instead of ax.ylim(0,3) Matplotlib.pyplot is known for its nonsensical api.

  From the top of my head, the one that annoys me regularly is the difference between setting a title/x or range on plot, and on a subplot. So plot.title(), and ax.set_title(). By the way, who came up with the idea that an axis object is a great handle to handle subplot settings..?
