Re: [Matplotlib-users] Combining figures

[David H. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi John,

Thanks for taking the time to answer a badly formulated question. With your
indications, I have been able to get an example working.

The point was that I had a function with a number of arguments that returned
a subplot(111) instance. Inside this function there are thousands of  calls
to plot, there are labels and a title. I called the function  from my main
script, called savefig and stored the figure. Now I want to compare two such
figures side by side, and ideally tweak the axes so they are identical.

Here is what I came up with your help:

def make_complicated_graph(x, sub = None):
    s = sub or subplot(111)
    s.plot(x)
    s.set_title('test12')
    s.set_xlabel('T')
    s.set_ylabel('Y')
    s.scatter([3,4], [5,2], s= 5, c='r')
    if sub is None:
        return s


fig = figure(1)
s1 = subplot(2,1,1)
s2 = subplot(2,1,2)
make_complicated_graph(arange(5), sub = s1)
make_complicated_graph(arange(10), sub = s2)
s1.set_xlim(s2.get_xlim())
show()


Thanks again for your help.

David
