Create Different Subplot Sizes in Matplotlib using Gridspec
The GridSpec from the gridspec module is used to adjust the geometry of the Subplot grid. We can use different parameters to adjust the shape, size, and number of columns and rows.
gridspec.GridSpec(ncols=2, nrows=2, width_ratios=[2, 1],wspace=0.5,hspace=0.5,height_ratios=[1,2])
Python3
# importing required librariesimport matplotlib.pyplot as pltfrom matplotlib import gridspecimport numpy as np# create a figurefig = plt.figure()# to change size of subplot's# set height of each subplot as 8fig.set_figheight(8)# set width of each subplot as 8fig.set_figwidth(8)# create grid for different subplotsspec = gridspec.GridSpec(ncols=2, nrows=2, width_ratios=[2, 1], wspace=0.5, hspace=0.5, height_ratios=[1, 2])# initializing x,y axis valuex = np.arange(0, 10, 0.1)y = np.cos(x)# ax0 will take 0th position in # geometry(Grid we created for subplots),# as we defined the position as "spec[0]"ax0 = fig.add_subplot(spec[0])ax0.plot(x, y)# ax1 will take 0th position in# geometry(Grid we created for subplots),# as we defined the position as "spec[1]"ax1 = fig.add_subplot(spec[1])ax1.plot(x, y)# ax2 will take 0th position in# geometry(Grid we created for subplots),# as we defined the position as "spec[2]"ax2 = fig.add_subplot(spec[2])ax2.plot(x, y)# ax3 will take 0th position in# geometry(Grid we created for subplots),# as we defined the position as "spec[3]"ax3 = fig.add_subplot(spec[3])ax3.plot(x, y)# display the plotsplt.show() |

How to Create Different Subplot Sizes in Matplotlib?
In this article, we will learn different ways to create subplots of different sizes using Matplotlib. It provides 3 different methods using which we can create different subplots of different sizes.
Methods available to create subplot:
- Gridspec
- gridspec_kw
- subplot2grid
