=================
Figure subfigures
=================
Sometimes it is desirable to have a figure with two different layouts in it.
This can be achieved with
:doc:`nested gridspecs</gallery/subplots_axes_and_figures/gridspec_nested>`,
but having a virtual figure with its own artists is helpful, so
Matplotlib also has "subfigures", accessed by calling
`matplotlib.figure.Figure.add_subfigure` in a way that is analogous to
`matplotlib.figure.Figure.add_subplot`, or
`matplotlib.figure.Figure.subfigures` to make an array of subfigures. Note
that subfigures can also have their own child subfigures.
