Gridspec for multi-column/row subplot layouts#
GridSpec is a flexible way to layout
subplot grids. Here is an example with a 3x3 grid, and
axes spanning all three columns, two columns, and two rows.
importmatplotlib.pyplotasplt frommatplotlib.gridspecimport GridSpec defformat_axes(fig ): for i, ax in enumerate(fig.axes ): ax.text(0.5, 0.5, "ax%d" % (i+1), va="center", ha="center") ax.tick_params(labelbottom=False, labelleft=False) fig = plt.figure (layout="constrained") gs = GridSpec (3, 3, figure=fig ) ax1 = fig.add_subplot (gs [0, :]) # identical to ax1 = plt.subplot(gs.new_subplotspec((0, 0), colspan=3)) ax2 = fig.add_subplot (gs [1, :-1]) ax3 = fig.add_subplot (gs [1:, -1]) ax4 = fig.add_subplot (gs [-1, 0]) ax5 = fig.add_subplot (gs [-1, -2]) fig.suptitle ("GridSpec") format_axes(fig ) plt.show ()
