In contrast, matplotlib.pyplot.subplot() creates only a single subplot axes at a specified grid position. This means it will require several lines of code to achieve the same result as matplot.pyplot.subplots() did in a single line of code above: or you can also use built-in method of fig:

You may see subplots defined individually using plt.subplot (): The numbers in the subplot function refer to the parameters nrows, ncols, and index. So means we are adding this plot to a figure with 1 row and 3 columns, and that this plot should be the first axis in the figure.

Here is some basic code to create subplots: Here, we are defining the figure (fig) and axes (ax) that comprise the output of the subplots () function. A “figure” means the entire image containing all the subplots. “Axes” refers to the individual subplots.
