Sometimes we want to combine two subplots in an axes layout created with
subplots
. We can get the GridSpec
from the axes
and then remove the covered axes and fill the gap with a new bigger axes.
Here we create a layout with the bottom two axes in the last column combined.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axs = plt.subplots(ncols=3, nrows=3)
gs = axs[1, 2].get_gridspec()
# remove the underlying axes
for ax in axs[1:, -1]:
ax.remove()
axbig = fig.add_subplot(gs[1:, -1])
axbig.annotate('Big Axes \nGridSpec[1:, -1]', (0.1, 0.5),
xycoords='axes fraction', va='center')
fig.tight_layout()
plt.show()
