API Changes for 3.5.3#

  • Passing linefmt positionally is undeprecated

Passing linefmt positionally is undeprecated#

Positional use of all formatting parameters in stem has been deprecated since Matplotlib 3.5. This deprecation is relaxed so that one can still pass linefmt positionally, i.e. stem(x, y, 'r').
