matplotlib.axes.SubplotBase

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

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:

figmatplotlib.figure.Figure

*argstuple (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.

get_gridspec()

Return the GridSpec instance associated with the subplot.

get_subplotspec()

Return the SubplotSpec instance associated with the subplot.

label_outer()

Only show "outer" labels and tick labels.

x-labels are only kept for subplots on the last row (or first row, if labels are on the top side); y-labels only for subplots on the first column (or last column, if labels are on the right side).

set_subplotspec(subplotspec)

Set the SubplotSpec. instance associated with the subplot.
