+Inheritance Diagram
+-------------------
+
+If you use :mod:`sphinx.ext.inheritance_diagram` to generate inheritance diagrams with
+:mod:`sphinx.ext.graphviz`, and you output the inheritance diagrams in SVG format,
+they will automatically adapt to this theme's light or dark mode.
+
+To have the inheritance-diagram render to SVG, inside ``conf.py``, you need
+the following option.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # conf.py
+    ...
+    graphviz_output_format = 'svg'
+    ...
+
+Below is an example of the inheritance diagram for ``matplotlib.figure.Figure``.
+Try toggling light/dark mode to see it adapt!
+
+.. inheritance-diagram:: matplotlib.figure.Figure
+
+See the sphinx inheritance-diagram `documentation`_ for more information.
+
+.. _documentation: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/inheritance.html
