matplotlib.pyplot.subplot2grid

matplotlib.pyplot.subplot2grid(shape, loc, rowspan=1, colspan=1, fig=None, **kwargs)[source]

Create a subplot at a specific location inside a regular grid.

Parameters:

shape(int, int): Number of rows and of columns of the grid in which to place axis.
loc(int, int): Row number and column number of the axis location within the grid.
rowspanint, default: 1: Number of rows for the axis to span downwards.
colspanint, default: 1: Number of columns for the axis to span to the right.
figFigure, optional: Figure to place the subplot in. Defaults to the current figure.
**kwargs: Additional keyword arguments are handed to add_subplot.

Returns:

Axes: The Axes of the subplot. The returned Axes can actually be an instance of a subclass, such as projections.polar.PolarAxes for polar projections.

The following call

ax = subplot2grid((nrows, ncols), (row, col), rowspan, colspan)

is identical to

fig = gcf()
gs = fig.add_gridspec(nrows, ncols)
ax = fig.add_subplot(gs[row:row+rowspan, col:col+colspan])
