================================================
Combine two subplots using subplots and GridSpec
================================================
Sometimes we want to combine two subplots in an Axes layout created with
`~.Figure.subplots`. We can get the `~.gridspec.GridSpec` from the Axes
and then remove the covered Axes and fill the gap with a new bigger Axes.
Here we create a layout with the bottom two Axes in the last column combined.
To start with this layout (rather than removing the overlapping Axes) use
`~.pyplot.subplot_mosaic`.
See also :ref:`arranging_axes`.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axs = plt.subplots(ncols=3, nrows=3)
gs = axs[1, 2].get_gridspec()
# remove the underlying Axes
for ax in axs[1:, -1]:
ax.remove()
axbig = fig.add_subplot(gs[1:, -1])
axbig.annotate('Big Axes \nGridSpec[1:, -1]', (0.1, 0.5),
xycoords='axes fraction', va='center')
fig.tight_layout()
plt.show()
