Combining two subplots using subplots and GridSpec
4+
==================================================
5+
6+
Sometimes we want to combine two subplots in an axes layout created with
7+
`~.Figure.subplots`. We can get the `~.gridspec.GridSpec` from the axes
8+
and then remove the covered axes and fill the gap with a new bigger axes.
9+
Here we create a layout with the bottom two axes in the last column combined.

ax.remove()

axbig = fig.add_subplot(gs[1:, -1])
