matplotlib loop make subplot for each category

Question

I am trying to write a loop that will make a figure with 25 subplots, 1 for each country. My code makes a figure with 25 subplots, but the plots are empty. What can I change to

Answer 1

I don't remember that well how to use original subplot system but you seem to be rewriting the plot. In any case you should take a look at gridspec. Check the following example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec

fig = plt.figure()

gs1 = gridspec.GridSpec(5, 5)
countries = ["Country " + str(i) for i in range(1, 26)]
axs = []
for c, num in zip(countries, range(1,26)):
    axs.append(fig.add_subplot(gs1[num - 1]))
    axs[-1].plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3])

plt.show()

Which results in this:

Just replace the example with your data and it should work fine.

NOTE: I've noticed you are using xrange. I've used range because my version of Python is 3.x. Adapt to your version.
