mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.Grid

class mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.Grid(fig, rect, nrows_ncols, ngrids=None, direction='row', axes_pad=0.02, add_all=True, share_all=False, share_x=True, share_y=True, label_mode='L', axes_class=None)

A class that creates a grid of Axes. In matplotlib, the axes location (and size) is specified in the normalized figure coordinates. This may not be ideal for images that needs to be displayed with a given aspect ratio. For example, displaying images of a same size with some fixed padding between them cannot be easily done in matplotlib. AxesGrid is used in such case.

Build an Grid instance with a grid nrows*ncols Axes in Figure fig with rect=[left, bottom, width, height] (in Figure coordinates) or the subplot position code (e.g., “121”).

Optional keyword arguments:

Keyword	Default	Description
direction	“row”	[ “row” | “column” ]
axes_pad	0.02	float| pad between axes given in inches or tuple-like of floats, (horizontal padding, vertical padding)
add_all	True	bool
share_all	False	bool
share_x	True	bool
share_y	True	bool
label_mode	“L”	[ “L” | “1” | “all” ]
axes_class	None	a type object which must be a subclass of Axes

get_aspect()

get aspect

get_axes_locator()

get_axes_pad()

get axes_pad

Returns:

tuple

get_divider()

get_geometry()

get geometry of the grid. Returns a tuple of two integer, representing number of rows and number of columns.

get_vsize_hsize()

set_aspect(aspect)

set aspect

set_axes_locator(locator)

set_axes_pad(axes_pad)

set axes_pad

set_label_mode(mode)

set label_mode
