matplotlib.pyplot.subplots

Number of rows/columns of the subplot grid.

Controls sharing of properties among x (sharex) or y (sharey) axes:

True or 'all': x- or y-axis will be shared among all subplots.

False or 'none': each subplot x- or y-axis will be independent.

'row': each subplot row will share an x- or y-axis.

'col': each subplot column will share an x- or y-axis.

When subplots have a shared x-axis along a column, only the x tick labels of the bottom subplot are created. Similarly, when subplots have a shared y-axis along a row, only the y tick labels of the first column subplot are created. To later turn other subplots' ticklabels on, use tick_params.

When subplots have a shared axis that has units, calling set_units will update each axis with the new units.

If True, extra dimensions are squeezed out from the returned array of Axes:

if only one subplot is constructed (nrows=ncols=1), the resulting single Axes object is returned as a scalar.

for Nx1 or 1xM subplots, the returned object is a 1D numpy object array of Axes objects.

for NxM, subplots with N>1 and M>1 are returned as a 2D array.

If False, no squeezing at all is done: the returned Axes object is always a 2D array containing Axes instances, even if it ends up being 1x1.

Defines the relative widths of the columns. Each column gets a relative width of width_ratios[i] / sum(width_ratios). If not given, all columns will have the same width. Equivalent to gridspec_kw={'width_ratios': [...]}.

Defines the relative heights of the rows. Each row gets a relative height of height_ratios[i] / sum(height_ratios). If not given, all rows will have the same height. Convenience for gridspec_kw={'height_ratios': [...]}.

Dict with keywords passed to the add_subplot call used to create each subplot.

Dict with keywords passed to the GridSpec constructor used to create the grid the subplots are placed on.

All additional keyword arguments are passed to the pyplot.figure call.
