Hi,

I am looking for a way to do the below in the image. I know I could generate a subplot which spans the whole length of A and B however I can not appear to find an intuitive way to plot a third figure C which spans half the length of and A and B.

Thanks,  
Harry

One way is to use `width = Relative(0.5)`

```julia
f = Figure()
ax1 = Axis(f[1, 1])
ax2 = Axis(f[1, 2])
ax3 = Axis(f[2, 1:2], width = Relative(0.5))
f

```

However, if you want to place a `Label` letter next to it, it’s not great if the `Axis` reduces its own width, as then its border is harder to target via normal layouting.

You could also put C in its own GridLayout where the layout has half the width, then it’s easier to place C although the centering against A and B should then be a little bit off due to C increasing the size on the right.

```julia
f = Figure()
ax1 = Axis(f[1, 1])
Label(f[1, 1, TopRight()], "A")
ax2 = Axis(f[1, 2])
Label(f[1, 2, TopRight()], "B")
gl = GridLayout(f[2, 1:2], width = Relative(0.5))
ax3 = Axis(gl[1, 1])
Label(gl[1, 1, TopRight()], "C")
f

```
