Matplotlib Subplot

This lesson is part of Python · All levels

Summary

Subplots allow multiple graphs to be displayed side by side in a single figure. The plt.subplot(line, column, position) function divides the figure into a grid and selects a single cell to fill the graph. Each cell is given its own axis so that the title and label can be arranged per graph. This approach is efficient for comparing multiple visualizations at once without opening many windows.

Key points

Plt.subplot(lines, columns, positions) select one cell on the graph grid
One figure can contain many adjacent graphs.
Each subplot has its own title and label axis.
Plt.tight_layout() to fix the distance between subplots
