ArviZ uses constrained_layout=True even when disabling it in az.rcParams

[tomicapretto]

I'm using the "arviz-darkgrid" style and I'm getting a constrained layout even when I attempt to disable it via

az.rcParams["plot.matplotlib.constrained_layout"] = False

The code

import arviz as az
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

az.style.use("arviz-darkgrid")
az.rcParams["plot.matplotlib.constrained_layout"] = False

fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 2)

axes[0].scatter([1, 2], [1, 2])
axes[1].scatter([1, 2], [1, 2])
fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2)

The result

The environment

We are setting constrained_layout twice, and that is causing this bug.

In the meantime you can disable it using plt.rcParams['figure.constrained_layout.use'] = False
