subplots matplotlib code example

Example 1: matplotlib subplots

fig = plt.figure()

# total_rows, total_columns, subplot_index(1st, 2nd, etc..)
plt.subplot(2, 2, 1)
plt.plot(x, y)

plt.subplot(2, 2, 2)
plt.plot(x, y)

plt.subplot(2, 2, 3)
plt.plot(x, y)

plt.subplot(2, 2, 4)
plt.plot(x, y)

Example 2: subplots matplotlib

# First create some toy data:
x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 400)
y = np.sin(x**2)

# Create just a figure and only one subplot
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, y)
ax.set_title('Simple plot')

# Create two subplots and unpack the output array immediately
f, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, sharey=True)
ax1.plot(x, y)
ax1.set_title('Sharing Y axis')
ax2.scatter(x, y)

# Create four polar axes and access them through the returned array
fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2, subplot_kw=dict(polar=True))
axs[0, 0].plot(x, y)
axs[1, 1].scatter(x, y)

# Share a X axis with each column of subplots
plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex='col')

# Share a Y axis with each row of subplots
plt.subplots(2, 2, sharey='row')

# Share both X and Y axes with all subplots
plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex='all', sharey='all')

# Note that this is the same as
plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex=True, sharey=True)

# Create figure number 10 with a single subplot
# and clears it if it already exists.
fig, ax = plt.subplots(num=10, clear=True)

Example 3: get subplots in matplotlib

fig,ax = plt.subplots(3,2,figsize=(25,10),)

i,j = 0,0
for each in list_of_images:
    img = cv.imread(each.name)
    ax[i,j].imshow(img)
   

    if j == 1:
        j = 0
        if i != 2:
            i += 1
    else:
        j += 1

Example 4: share x axis matplotlib

fig=plt.figure()
ax1 = plt.subplot(211)
ax2 = plt.subplot(212, sharex = ax1)

Example 5: subplots matplotlib

# using the variable ax for single a Axes
fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# using the variable axs for multiple Axes
fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2)

# using tuple unpacking for multiple Axes
fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplot(1, 2)
fig, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plt.subplot(2, 2)

Example 6: subplots matplotlib

fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2)
fig.suptitle('Vertically stacked subplots')
ax1.plot(x, y)
ax2.plot(x, -y)
#or
fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1,2) #in lines
