Mypy errors with matplotlib 3.8

[Illviljan]

Matplotlib has started to support typing in main (matplotlib/matplotlib#20504) and mypy is throwing a few errors:

Some guidance how to solve these:

• [xy]ticks in mpl is currently overly narrowly type hinted because I was following the docstring, but I agree that ArrayLike is a better type hint for that, plan on updating (including the docstring) upstream
• [xy]lim originally neglected the case of passing set_xlim((min, max)) as a tuple, but that has been updated. xarray has that type hinted as array like, but mpl has it hinted as a 2-tuple (I think it is currently still of floats, but may be expanded as we more directly address units/categoricals/etc). Willing to debate here, but my starting position is that the "exactly 2 values" is valuable info here, and I think tuple is the only way to do that.
• get_renderer is not actually available on all of our backends, we should maybe see if there is a more preferred way of doing what you are doing here that will work for all backends, but haven't looked into it too closely.
• Module has no attribute <colormap> is another instance of dynamically generated behavior which can't be statically type checked (elegantly, at least), can probably be replaced by mpl.colormaps["<colormap>"] in many cases, which is statically typecheckable
• Anything to do with 3D Axes is not type hinted, perhaps ignore for now (or help us get that type hinted adequately, but it is relatively low priority currently)
• Module has no attribute "dates" we don't currently type hint dates/units things, but it is on my mind, not sure yet if it will be in first release or not though (may at least put a placeholder that gets rid of this error, but treats everything as "Any").

The suggestion from mpl (specifically @tacaswell) was to use constrained layout for the purpose that xarray currently uses get_renderer, this will ensure that the facetgrid works with all mpl backends.

I'm also relatively sure that if you are willing to put a floor on the version of Matplotlib you support get_window_extent will use it's internally cached renderer (and when we make it uniformly optional we also fixed the cache invalidation logic).

@headtr1ck I just got reminded about this issue (in person at scipy) by @ksunden of matplotlib. He says ominously type hints are coming... But that he is willing to help us with type hinting our code.

Thanks for the reminder. I should have more time to work on this soon. Would be nice to align everything!

I have now an env with the newest numpy (pypi) and matplotlib (main branch).
So far I see 145 errors.
Many of them are from the tests where we get Optional attributes.
And I also get some errors of parts that should not be affected, I guess I have slightly different versions of packages as the github action or something.

Some mypy errors have to be fixed on matplotlibs side.
For example, "Colorbar" has no attribute "vmin" or "Colormap" has no attribute "colors".
@ksunden do you prefer an issue for each of them, or should I compile a single issue where I collect all my findings?
Also, what time is left approx. before 3.8 is released?

The major issue that I was encountering was that we do not distinguish between Axes and Axes3D.
The only way to fix this was to add several isinstance checks whenever we expect an Axes3D.
Maybe we could change this somehow, but I think that would be a major refactor, so not worth it.

I think that #8030 clears up most of the flags for 3D stuff (probably mostly by ignoring for now...) it's not super easy to do that statically (as e.g. matplotlib projections are actually a dynamically changeable thing...) we may be able to work towards doing better for axis creation methods, but that only goes so far sometimes... I think some use of typing.cast (noop at runtime, but informs the type checker) may be useful for encoding certain known side channel information flows, but not likely to be as good as if the API was designed with a more strict type system in mind.

We are looking to branch and release an RC this week (maybe as soon as tomorrow, but trying to get a handful of more PRs merged...), and how long it takes/if there are further RCs depends on what feedback we get on the RC (which includes whether further changes are needed to type hints)

@ksunden - I got the same error with matplitlib 3.9.2

@headtr1ck - I fixed the mypy error with explicit type hint

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
ax: Axes3D = fig.add_subplot(2, 2, i, projection="3d")
