Bug report
Bug summary
matplotlib.pyplot.subplot2grid fails with TypeError when given a figure-argument.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
f = plt.figure()
ax1 = plt.subplot2grid((2, 2), (0, 0), colspan=2, fig=f)
It even fails for this:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ax1 = plt.subplot2grid((2, 2), (0, 0), colspan=2, fig=None)
Actual outcome
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "filename.py", line 4, in <module>
