Hi Nico, I'm sorry I cannot help you, but at least I'd like to share my findings with you: I find the following statements to be true: isinstance(gca(), matplotlib.axes.SubplotBase) isinstance(gca(), matplotlib.axes.Subplot) isinstance(gca(), matplotlib.axes.Axes) but there is no class 'AxesSubplot' in matplotlib.axes. I think this class is somehow dynamically generated from Axes and Subplot, but I have no idea how this works.
