.. _toolkit_axesgrid-index: Matplotlib AxesGrid Toolkit =========================== The matplotlib AxesGrid toolkit is a collection of helper classes to ease displaying multiple images in matplotlib. While the aspect parameter in matplotlib adjust the position of the single axes, AxesGrid toolkit provides a framework to adjust the position of multiple axes according to their aspects. .. image:: ../../_static/demo_axes_grid.png .. note:: AxesGrid toolkit has been a part of matplotlib since v 0.99. Originally, the toolkit had a single namespace of *axes_grid*. In more recent version (since svn r8226), the toolkit has divided into two separate namespace (*axes_grid1* and *axisartist*). While *axes_grid* namespace is maintained for the backward compatibility, use of *axes_grid1* and *axisartist* is recommended. .. warning:: *axes_grid* and *axisartist* (but not *axes_grid1*) uses a custom Axes class (derived from the mpl's original Axes class). As a side effect, some commands (mostly tick-related) do not work. Use *axes_grid1* to avoid this, or see how things are different in *axes_grid* and *axisartist* (LINK needed) .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 users/overview.rst users/index.rst api/index.rst
