Re: [Matplotlib-users] using subplot to plot a large numbers of graphs in a loop

[Ken M. <mc...@ii...>]

Jakob,

Here's an example of managing axes, etc yourself while plotting.   
John covered just about everything I was going to mention in his  
email, but I'd like to add that using "from XYZ import *" in scripts  
can make them hard for other people to understand.

Ken



import pylab

nrows = 2
ncols = 3
x = pylab.arange(0, 10, 0.1) # your X here

fig = pylab.figure()
for i in range(0, nrows*ncols):
     y = i * x # your Y here
     # i goes 0..N-1, but the plot number goes 0..N, so add one here
     ax = fig.add_subplot(nrows, ncols, i+1)
     ax.plot(x, y)
     if ax.is_last_row():
         ax.set_xlabel('time')

pylab.show()
