Bug summary
According to the figure documentation (other parameters) it should be possible pass figure kwargs in plt.subplots():
fig, ax = plt.subplots(layout='constrained',
constrained_layout_pads={'w_pad': 0.5, 'h_pad': 0.5})
which results, however, in a
TypeError: set_constrained_layout_pads() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given
The documentation mentions a single value (float), although the parameter name is in plural (and set_constrained_layout_pads takes up to four parameters):
constrained_layout_pads float, default: rcParams["figure.constrained_layout.w_pad"] (default: 0.04167)
but plt.subplots(constrained_layout_pads=0.5) results in the same error.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots(layout='constrained',
constrained_layout_pads={'w_pad': 0.5, 'h_pad': 0.5})Actual outcome
