How to make several plots on a single page using matplotlib?

Question

I have written code that opens 16 figures at once. Currently they all open as separate graphs. I\'d like them to open all on the same page. Not the same graph. I want 16

Answer 1

Since this question is from 4 years ago new things have been implemented and among them there is a new function plt.subplots which is very convenient:

fig, axes = plot.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=3, sharex=True, sharey=True)

where axes is a numpy.ndarray of AxesSubplot objects, making it very convenient to go through the different subplots just using array indices [i,j].
