==========================
Creating adjacent subplots
==========================
To create plots that share a common axis (visually) you can set the hspace
between the subplots to zero. Passing sharex=True when creating the subplots
will automatically turn off all x ticks and labels except those on the bottom
axis.
In this example the plots share a common x axis but you can follow the same
logic to supply a common y axis.
