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.SubplotBase, or another subclass of Axes

The axes of the subplot. The returned axes base class depends on the projection used. It is Axes if rectilinear projection is used and projections.polar.PolarAxes if polar projection is used. The returned axes is then a subplot subclass of the base class.

Notes

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])
