pyplot - copy an axes content and show it in a new figure

Question

let say I have this code:

num_rows = 10
num_cols = 1
fig, axs = plt.subplots(num_rows, num_cols, sharex=True)
for i in xrange(num_rows):
     ax = axs[i]
            


        

Answer 1

If you have, for example, a plot with three lines generated by the function plot_something, you can do something like this:

fig, axs = plot_something()
ax = axs[2]
l = list(ax.get_lines())[0]
l2 = list(ax.get_lines())[1]
l3 = list(ax.get_lines())[2]
plot(l.get_data()[0], l.get_data()[1])
plot(l2.get_data()[0], l2.get_data()[1])
plot(l3.get_data()[0], l3.get_data()[1])
ylim(0,1)
