matplotlib.axes.SubplotBase

class matplotlib.axes. SubplotBase ( fig, *args, **kwargs ) [source]

Bases: object

Base class for subplots, which are Axes instances with additional methods to facilitate generating and manipulating a set of Axes within a figure.

Parameters

fig matplotlib.figure.Figure

*args tuple (nrows, ncols, index) or int

The array of subplots in the figure has dimensions (nrows, ncols), and index is the index of the subplot being created. index starts at 1 in the upper left corner and increases to the right.

If nrows, ncols, and index are all single digit numbers, then args can be passed as a single 3-digit number (e.g. 234 for (2, 3, 4)).

**kwargs

Keyword arguments are passed to the Axes (sub)class constructor.

change_geometry ( numrows, numcols, num ) [source]

[Deprecated] Change subplot geometry, e.g., from (1, 1, 1) to (2, 2, 3).

Notes

Deprecated since version 3.4.

property figbox [source]

get_geometry ( ) [source]

[Deprecated] Get the subplot geometry, e.g., (2, 2, 3).

Notes

Deprecated since version 3.4.

get_gridspec ( ) [source]

Return the GridSpec instance associated with the subplot.

get_subplotspec ( ) [source]

Return the SubplotSpec instance associated with the subplot.
