Tuple Unpacking with graphs in matplotlib

[smw10c]

plt.subplots() returns tuple containg figure object and arrray of axis objects (if atleast one of nrows or ncols is > 1). When you want plot with two subplots in one row, you use fig, axes = plt.subplots(1,2), unpacking assigns figure into fig and axis array into axes. After that you can use axes to access specified subplots, while fig is used to control entire figure. Simple example:

 import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 400) fig, axes = plt.subplots(1,2) axes[0].plot(x, x**2) axes[1].plot(x, x**3) fig.savefig('boo.png', dpi=200)
