Matplotlib 3.0 Cookbook

How to do it...

The following code block plots three grids of different numbers of cells and sizes in one figure:

1. Define the style to be used for this session, the figure with its size, and set constrained_layout:

plt.style.use('ggplot')fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12,6), constrained_layout=True)

2. Define the grid with a 1 x 3 layout, which contains three grids in a row:

gs0 = GridSpec(1, 3, figure=fig)

3. Define each grid layout:

gs00 = GridSpecFromSubplotSpec(2, 2, subplot_spec=gs0[0])gs01 = GridSpecFromSubplotSpec(3, 2, subplot_spec=gs0[1])gs02 = GridSpecFromSubplotSpec(3, 3, subplot_spec=gs0[2])

4. Plot each cell within each of the grids, using a for loop for each of the grids:

for a in range(2):    for b in range(2): fig.add_subplot(gs00[a, ...
