[Feature request] Take in an `ax` object like seaborn, networkx, and other matplotlib wrappers

from supervenn import supervenn
sets = [{1, 2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5}, {1, 6, 7, 8}]
with plt.style.context("seaborn-white"):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    supervenn(sets, side_plots=False, ax=ax)
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right now it’s not practical to use these in a production setting because we can’t integrate these into existing figures.

@jolespin hey Josh, I’ve added a returned object in 0.3.0, which gives access to chunks’ contents and to axes of the plot. The new ersion is already on PyPi https://github.com/gecko984/supervenn#inspect-the-chunks-contents https://github.com/gecko984/supervenn#access-the-figure-and-axes-objects-of-the-plot

Hi Josh, thanks for your input. This is definitely a good idea. I used to think that it was imposiible to split an existing axis into four uneven-sized axes, which I need for the “side plots”. But after reading your message I dug deeper and now I think I figured out how to do it. So probably will implement it in the next few days, stay tuned.
