The documentation for subplots_adjust reads
“matplotlib.pyplot.subplots_adjust
[…]
Adjust the subplot layout parameters.”
which fits the circular pattern
“matplotlib.pyplot.noun_verb
[…]
verb the noun”
In other words, the explanation of the function is a just a rephrasing of the name of the function. To be fair, it does say “verb noun’s layout parameters”, so it is not completely circular – but layout parameters is undefined and not linked to anything. Its usage here suggests that it is a technical in the context of matplotlib, so I went to the search bar and typed in “layout parameters”, but I could not find a definition of it.
In case it’s not obvious, I am really new to matplotlib. Thank you for your patience with a question that probably seems unnecessary to just about everyone else in this forum. : )
