Code before:
        with tuple, it almost always makes sense to also specify
        a *bbox_transform*. This might often be the axes transform
        *parent_axes.transAxes*.

    bbox_transform : `~matplotlib.transforms.Transform`, optional
        Transformation for the bbox that contains the inset axes.
        If None, a `.transforms.IdentityTransform` is used. The value
        of *bbox_to_anchor* (or the return value of its get_points method)
        is transformed by the *bbox_transform* and then interpreted
        as points in the pixel coordinate (which is dpi dependent).
        You may provide *bbox_to_anchor* in some normalized coordinate,
        and give an appropriate transform (e.g., *parent_axes.transAxes*).

    axes_class : `~matplotlib.axes.Axes` type, default: `.HostAxes`
        The type of the newly created inset axes.

    axes_kwargs : dict, optional
        Keyword arguments to pass to the constructor of the inset axes.
        Valid arguments include:

        %(Axes:kwdoc)s

    borderpad : float or tuple[float,float], default: 0.5
        Padding between inset axes and the bbox_to_anchor.
        If a float,the same padding is used for both x and y.
        If a tuple of two floats,it specifies the (x,y) padding.
        The units are axes font size, i.e. for a default font size of 10 points
        *borderpad = 0.5* is equivalent to a padding of 5 points.

        .. versionadded:: 3.10
        The *borderpad* parameter now accepts a tuple of (x, y) paddings.

    Returns
    -------
    inset_axes : *axes_class*
        Inset axes object created.

Review comment (suggestion):
```suggestion

        If a tuple of two floats, it specifies the (x, y) padding.
