subplot(numRows, numCols, plotNum)

On my local disk, the file:

file:///usr/share/doc/python-matplotlib-doc/html/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.subplot

contains:

  subplot(numRows, numCols, plotNum)

  where plotNum = 1 is the first plot number and increasing plotNums
fill rows first. max(plotNum) == numRows * numCols

and then, a little later:

  New subplots that overlap old will delete the old axes.

However, that doc does not explain what a row or column is or what
overlap means.

Is there some way the figure is partitioned into rows and columns and the
subplots appear in these rows and columns.  If so, then how is this
partition
done?  Does subplot(1,2,1) appear to the left and at same level as
subplot(1,2,2)?
What if there's subplot(1,2,1) and subplot(2,1,1).  Do they overlap and
if so, why?
IOW, what's the definition of overlap?

TIA.

  -regards,
  Larry
