We can create subplots in Matplotlib by calling plt.subplots(~).
Example
To create a figure object with 3 rows of subplots and 2 columns:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots(3, 2)fig.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.5, wspace=0.3) # Adjust the spacing between subplotsplt.show()
This produces the following output:
The resulting figure is composed of an array of axes objects. To add data we need to index into one of the axes objects:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(3, 2)fig.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.5, wspace=0.3) # Adjust the spacing between subplots
# Add data to the top-left subplotax[0, 0].plot([1,2,3], [1,2,3])plt.show()
We can see that data is plotted onto the top-left subplot:
