In Matplotlib, we can draw multiple graphs in a single plot in two ways. One is by using subplot() function and other by superimposition of second graph on the first i.e, all graphs will appear on the same plot. We will look into both the ways one by one. Multiple Plots using subplot () FunctionA subplot () function is a
wrapper function which allows the programmer to plot more than one graph in a single figure by just calling it once. Syntax: matplotlib.pyplot.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=1, sharex=False, sharey=False, squeeze=True, subplot_kw=None, gridspec_kw=None, **fig_kw) Parameters: - nrows, ncols: These gives the number of rows and columns respectively. Also, it must be noted that both these parameters are optional
and the default value is 1.
- sharex, sharey: These parameters specify about the properties that are shared among a and y axis.Possible values for them can be, row, col, none or default value which is False.
- squeeze: This parameter is a boolean value specified, which asks the programmer whether to squeeze out, meaning remove the extra dimension from the array. It has a default value False.
- subplot_kw: This
parameters allow us to add keywords to each subplot and its default value is None.
- gridspec_kw: This allows us to add grids on each subplot and has a default value of None.
- **fig_kw: This allows us to pass any other additional keyword argument to the function call and has a default value of None.
Example : Python3import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import math
X =
np.arange( 0 , math.pi * 2 , 0.05 )
Y1 = np.sin(X)
Y2 = np.cos(X)
Y3 = np.tan(X)
Y4 = np.tanh(X)
figure, axis = plt.subplots( 2 , 2 )
axis[ 0 , 0 ].plot(X, Y1)
axis[ 0 , 0 ].set_title( "Sine Function" )
axis[ 0 , 1 ].plot(X, Y2)
axis[ 0 , 1 ].set_title( "Cosine Function" )
axis[ 1 , 0 ].plot(X, Y3)
axis[ 1 , 0 ].set_title( "Tangent Function" )
axis[ 1 , 1 ].plot(X, Y4)
axis[ 1 , 1 ].set_title( "Tanh Function" )
plt.show()
Output Multiple plots using
subplot() function In Matplotlib, there is another function very similar to subplot which is subplot2grid (). It is same almost same as subplot function but provides more flexibility to arrange the plot objects according to the need of the programmer. This function is written as follows: Syntax: matplotlib.pyplot.subplot2grid(shape, loc, rowspan=1, colspan=1, fig=None, **kwargs) Parameter: - shape
This
parameter is a sequence of two integer values which tells the shape of the grid for which we need to place the axes. The first entry is for row, whereas the second entry is for column. - loc
Like shape parameter, even Ioc is a sequence of 2 integer values, where first entry remains for the row and the second is for column to place axis within grid. - rowspan
This parameter takes integer value and the number which indicates the number of rows
for the axis to span to or increase towards right side. - colspan
This parameter takes integer value and the number which indicates the number of columns for the axis to span to or increase the length downwards. - fig
This is an optional parameter and takes Figure to place axis in. It defaults to current figure. - **kwargs
This allows us to pass any other additional keyword argument to the function call and has a
default value of None.
Example : Python3import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import math
plot1 = plt.subplot2grid(( 3 , 3 ), ( 0 , 0 ), colspan = 2 )
plot2 = plt.subplot2grid(( 3 , 3 ), ( 0 , 2 ), rowspan = 3 , colspan = 2 )
plot3 =
plt.subplot2grid(( 3 , 3 ), ( 1 , 0 ), rowspan = 2 )
x = np.arange( 1 , 10 )
plot2.plot(x, x * * 0.5 )
plot2.set_title( 'Square Root' )
plot1.plot(x, np.exp(x))
plot1.set_title( 'Exponent' )
plot3.plot(x, x * x)
plot.set_title( 'Square' )
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
Output Multiple Plots using
subplot2grid() function Plotting in same plotWe have now learnt about plotting multiple graphs using subplot and subplot2grid function of Matplotlib library. As mentioned earlier, we will now have a look at plotting multiple curves by superimposing them. In this method we do not use any special function instead we directly plot the curves one above other and try to set the scale. Example : Python3import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import math
X = np.arange( 0 , math.pi * 2 , 0.05 )
y = np.sin(X)
z = np.cos(X)
plt.plot(X, y, color = 'r' , label = 'sin' )
plt.plot(X, z, color = 'g' , label = 'cos' )
plt.xlabel( "Angle" )
plt.ylabel( "Magnitude" )
plt.title( "Sine and Cosine functions" )
plt.legend()
plt.show()
Output sine and
cosine function curve in one graph
How do you plot multiple things on one graph in Python?Call matplotlib. pyplot. plot(x, y) with x and y set to arrays of data points to construct a plot. Calling this function multiple times on the same figure creates multiple plots in the same graph. How do you plot multiple values in
Python?Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.. Create random xs and ys data points using numpy.. Zip xs and ys. Iterate them together.. Make a scatter plot with each x and y values.. To display the figure, use show() method..
