But they don't handle explicit subplots -- for those use cases it usually makes sense to switch into matplotlib for more control.

My inclination is in xarray we should return `Animation` objects, from which the `blocks` attribute could be extracted if need be for further customization with animatplot. Most plotting methods will return an animation consisting of a single blocks, but some of these would actually return multiple blocks (e.g., for plotting multiple lines at once).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,349026158

What are the advantages of returning a ""block"" rather than an animation object consisting of a single block? I don't entirely understand why animatplot adds a notion of blocks in addition to matplotlib's axis.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,349026158
