Description

As discussed in PR https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/pull/9207#issuecomment-815302885, We need a test to check the ylims used for the individual subplots for plot_evoked_topo. This would identify and prevent any further issues arising with ylims in the future from newer versions of python.

Since the plot_evoked_topo has unified=true https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/pull/9207#issuecomment-814725032, It looks like it might not be possible to unpack the figure/axes object to access the individual ylims directly.

One idea that I had proposed earlier to @jasmainak was to build a debug parameter into plot_evoked_topo to be able to access all the individual parameters for the purpose of running tests before the creation of the figure object. Thoughts @larsoner @agramfort @drammock?

Research direction

Start at the plot_evoked_topo entry point and read the discussion in PR #9207, especially the comments about unified=True and accessing figure or axes objects. Review the existing plot tests, then define a test that checks the individual subplot ylims; done means future Python-version changes cannot alter those limits unnoticed.
