        :class:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes` kwargs plus *projection* which
        sets the projection type of the axes.  (For backward
        compatibility, ``polar=True`` may also be provided, which is

        kwargs.  The axes :attr:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes.label`
        attribute has been exposed for this purpose.  Eg., if you want

            fig.add_axes(rect, label='axes1')

        In rare circumstances, add_axes may be called with a single

                  transparent=False, bbox_inches=None, pad_inches=0.1):

        Save the current figure.

        The output formats available depend on the backend being used.

        Arguments:

          *fname*:
            A string containing a path to a filename, or a Python
            file-like object, or possibly some backend-dependent object
            such as :class:`~matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf.PdfPages`.

            If *format* is *None* and *fname* is a string, the output
            format is deduced from the extension of the filename. If
            the filename has no extension, the value of the rc parameter
            ``savefig.extension`` is used. If that value is 'auto',
            the backend determines the extension.

            If *fname* is not a string, remember to specify *format* to
            ensure that the correct backend is used.

        Keyword arguments:

          *dpi*: [ *None* | ``scalar > 0`` ]
            The resolution in dots per inch.  If *None* it will default to
            the value ``savefig.dpi`` in the matplotlibrc file.

          *facecolor*, *edgecolor*:
            the colors of the figure rectangle

          *orientation*: [ 'landscape' | 'portrait' ]
            not supported on all backends; currently only on postscript output

          *papertype*:
            One of 'letter', 'legal', 'executive', 'ledger', 'a0' through
            'a10', 'b0' through 'b10'. Only supported for postscript
            output.

          *format*:
            One of the file extensions supported by the active
            backend.  Most backends support png, pdf, ps, eps and svg.

          *transparent*:
            If *True*, the axes patches will all be transparent; the
            figure patch will also be transparent unless facecolor
            and/or edgecolor are specified via kwargs.
            This is useful, for example, for displaying
            a plot on top of a colored background on a web page.  The
            transparency of these patches will be restored to their
            original values upon exit of this function.

          *bbox_inches*:
            Bbox in inches. Only the given portion of the figure is
            saved. If 'tight', try to figure out the tight bbox of
            the figure.

          *pad_inches*:
            Amount of padding around the figure when bbox_inches is
            'tight'.

          *bbox_extra_artists*:
            A list of extra artists that will be considered when the
            tight bbox is calculated.
