Multiple subplots

Simple demo with multiple subplots.


.. code-block:: default

.. code-block:: default


    x1 = np.linspace(0.0, 5.0)
    x2 = np.linspace(0.0, 2.0)

    y1 = np.cos(2 * np.pi * x1) * np.exp(-x1)

Alternative Method For Creating Multiple Plots
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Subplots can also be generated using `~.pyplot.subplot()` \
as in the following example:



.. code-block:: default



    x1 = np.linspace(0.0, 5.0)
    x2 = np.linspace(0.0, 2.0)

    y1 = np.cos(2 * np.pi * x1) * np.exp(-x1)
    y2 = np.cos(2 * np.pi * x2)

    plt.subplot(2, 1, 1)
    plt.plot(x1, y1, 'o-')
    plt.title('A tale of 2 subplots')
    plt.ylabel('Damped oscillation')

    plt.subplot(2, 1, 2)
    plt.plot(x2, y2, '.-')
    plt.xlabel('time (s)')
    plt.ylabel('Undamped')

    plt.show()
