Problem

I do not really get the following sentence:

This is like a draw callback, however when printing we disable the layout engine for the final draw and it is useful to know the layout engine while the figure is being created, in particular to deal with colorbars.

Suggested improvement

I can think that it would first help to split it as

This is like a draw callback. However, when printing we disable the layout engine for the final draw and it is useful to know the layout engine while the figure is being created, in particular to deal with colorbars.

But the really unclear thing to me is the "and". Should that be "as"?

This is like a draw callback. However, when printing we disable the layout engine for the final draw as it is useful to know the layout engine while the figure is being created, in particular to deal with colorbars.

Not sure I fully get that sentence either (nor if it is correct anymore), but it seems to make a bit more sense anyway.
