Bug summary

From Version 3.10.0,plt.matshow(..., fignum=...) is broken.
I tested against the last nightly release matplotlib-3.11.0.dev377+g6c5e3f3348, where it is still broken.

Code for reproduction

importnumpyasnpimportmatplotlib.pyplotaspltfig=plt.figure()plt.matshow(np.random.random([3,3]),fignum=fig.number)

Actual outcome

Traceback (most recent call last):  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>  File "/home/wehandre/mambaforge/envs/temptest/lib/python3.12/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 2668, in matshow    fig = figure(fignum, figsize=figaspect(A))          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  File "/home/wehandre/mambaforge/envs/temptest/lib/python3.12/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 1013, in figure    if any([figsize, dpi, facecolor, edgecolor, not frameon,       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()

Expected outcome

No error

Additional information

The issue is, thatfigsize is a NumPy array, and thus cannot be used withinany.figsize is the result of the functionmatplotlib.figure.figaspect. To my knowledge, previously, this returned a tuple, which can be evaluated as a boolean. The documentation still suggests that the result is a tuple. However, I don't see any changes tomatshow orfigaspect inspecting their blames.
