matplotlib.axes.SubplotBase

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

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.

__reduce__(self) [source]

Helper for pickle.

__weakref__

list of weak references to the object (if defined)

change_geometry(self, numrows, numcols, num) [source]

[Deprecated] Change subplot geometry, e.g., from (1, 1, 1) to (2, 2, 3).

Notes

Deprecated since version 3.4.

property figbox

get_geometry(self) [source]

[Deprecated] Get the subplot geometry, e.g., (2, 2, 3).

Notes

Deprecated since version 3.4.

get_gridspec(self) [source]

Return the GridSpec instance associated with the subplot.

get_subplotspec(self) [source]
