Python: Creating Multiple Plots In One Figure With For Loop

I have tried to create a 2 row, 3 column grid of plots (each having multiple data plotted on it) using matplotlib. However, no matter what I try, the final saved figure is just on

Solution 1:

here is the way you can use a loop to generate your subplots and you can hide the axes which you do not need:

import pylab as plt
import numpy as np
fig ,axs=plt.subplots(2,3, sharex='col', sharey='row')
axs[-1,-1].axis('off')
namelist=['a','b','c','d','e']
ax=axs.ravel()
for i,someargs inenumerate(namelist):
    x1,y1,x2,y2 = somefunction(someargs)
    ax[i].plot(x1,y1)
    ax[i].plot(x2,y2)

Solution 2:

After spending some some time closely looking at what I'm running, I've found that the problem might lie somewhere with the function I am using to generate data and how it interacts with the loop. Indeed, using basic test data causes no problem.

That function does a lot of stuff (and requires parallelism), so it's difficult to tell exactly what it's doing.

I'm not really sure what went wrong, but I fixed my problem by storing the data first, and then accessing/plotting it in the manner I posted or similarly to the other answer.
