Bug summary

If I manually set the position of an Axes, then call twinx or twiny, the new twinned Axes appears in the original position of the parent Axes, not in the new position.

Code for reproduction

importmatplotlib.pyplotaspltfig,ax=plt.subplots()ax.set_position([0.2,0.2,0.5,0.5])ax2=ax.twinx()plt.show()

Actual outcome

I note thatax.get_position(original=True) andax.get_position(original=False) both give the same answer.
I also note that the same issue occurs forax.twiny().

Expected outcome

This expected outcome can be obtained by adding the line

ax2.set_position(ax.get_position())

after callingax2=ax.twinx(). Alternatively, it can be obtained by callingax.set_position after callingax.twinx.
However, I would expecttwinx to automatically inherit the position of the parent Axes, rather than draw the new Axes in an unrelated location.
