matlibplot: How to add space between some subplots

Question

How can I adjust the whitespace between some subplots? In the example below, let\'s say I want to eliminate all whitespace between the 1st and 2nd subplots as well as betwe

Answer 1

You would need to use GridSpec to have different spaces between plots:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec
import numpy as np

# Simple data to display in various forms
x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 400)
y = np.sin(x ** 2)

f = plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
gs0 = gridspec.GridSpec(2, 1)

gs00 = gridspec.GridSpecFromSubplotSpec(2, 1, subplot_spec=gs0[0], hspace=0)
ax0 = f.add_subplot(gs00[0])
ax0.plot(x, y)
ax0.set_title('Panel: A')
ax1 = f.add_subplot(gs00[1], sharex=ax0)
ax1.plot(x, y**2)

gs01 = gridspec.GridSpecFromSubplotSpec(2, 1, subplot_spec=gs0[1], hspace=0)
ax2 = f.add_subplot(gs01[0])
ax2.plot(x, y**3)
ax2.set_title('Panel: B')
ax3 = f.add_subplot(gs01[1], sharex=ax0)
ax3.plot(x, y**4)

plt.show()
