matplotlib.gridspec.SubplotSpec

classmatplotlib.gridspec.SubplotSpec(gridspec, num1, num2=None)[source]

Bases: object

The location of a subplot in a GridSpec.

Note

Likely, you'll never instantiate a SubplotSpec yourself. Instead you will typically obtain one from a GridSpec using item-access.

Parameters
gridspecGridSpec

The GridSpec, which the subplot is referencing.

num1, num2int

The subplot will occupy the num1-th cell of the given gridspec. If num2 is provided, the subplot will span between num1-th cell and num2-th cell inclusive.

The index starts from 0.

propertycolspan

The columns spanned by this subplot, as a range object.

get_geometry()[source]

Return the subplot geometry as tuple (n_rows, n_cols, start, stop).

The indices start and stop define the range of the subplot within the GridSpec. stop is inclusive (i.e. for a single cell start == stop).

get_gridspec()[source]
get_position(figure, return_all=<deprecated parameter>)[source]

Update the subplot position from figure.subplotpars.

get_topmost_subplotspec()[source]

Return the topmost SubplotSpec instance associated with the subplot.

is_first_col()[source]
is_first_row()[source]
is_last_col()[source]
is_last_row()[source]
propertynum2
propertyrowspan

The rows spanned by this subplot, as a range object.

subgridspec(nrows, ncols, **kwargs)[source]

Create a GridSpec within this subplot.

The created GridSpecFromSubplotSpec will have this SubplotSpec as a parent.

Parameters
nrowsint

Number of rows in grid.

ncolsint

Number or columns in grid.

Returns
GridSpecFromSubplotSpec
Other Parameters
**kwargs

All other parameters are passed to GridSpecFromSubplotSpec.

Examples

Adding three subplots in the space occupied by a single subplot:

fig = plt.figure()
gs0 = fig.add_gridspec(3, 1)
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(gs0[0])
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(gs0[1])
gssub = gs0[2].subgridspec(1, 3)
for i in range(3):
    fig.add_subplot(gssub[0, i])
