To sharex when using subplot2grid, we can take the following steps −
Create random data, t, x, y1 and y2 using numpy.
Create a new figure or activate an existing figure using figure() method.
Create a subplot at a specific location inside a regular grid with colspan=3 and rowspan=2.
Create a subplot at a specific location inside a regular grid with colspan=3 and sharex=ax1 (step 3).
Plot curve using t and y1 and y2 using plot() method.
Adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import numpy as np from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True t = np.arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01) x = np.sin(2 * np.pi * t) y1 = np.exp(-t) y2 = x * y1 fig = plt.figure() ax1 = plt.subplot2grid((4, 3), (0, 0), colspan=3, rowspan=2) ax2 = plt.subplot2grid((4, 3), (2, 0), colspan=3, sharex=ax1) ax1.plot(t, y1, c='red') ax2.plot(t, y2, c='orange') plt.tight_layout() plt.show()
