matplotlib.figure.SubFigure.add_axes#

SubFigure.add_axes(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Add an Axes to the figure.

Call signatures:

add_axes(rect, projection=None, polar=False, **kwargs)
add_axes(ax)

Parameters:

recttuple (left, bottom, width, height): The dimensions (left, bottom, width, height) of the new Axes. All quantities are in fractions of figure width and height.
projection{None, 'aitoff', 'hammer', 'lambert', 'mollweide', 'polar', 'rectilinear', str}, optional: The projection type of the Axes. str is the name of a custom projection, see projections. The default None results in a 'rectilinear' projection.
polarbool, default: False: If True, equivalent to projection='polar'.
axes_classsubclass type of Axes, optional: The axes.Axes subclass that is instantiated. This parameter is incompatible with projection and polar. See axisartist for examples.
sharex, shareyAxes, optional: Share the x or y axis with sharex and/or sharey. The axis will have the same limits, ticks, and scale as the axis of the shared Axes.
labelstr: A label for the returned Axes.

Returns:

Axes, or a subclass of Axes: The returned Axes class depends on the projection used. It is Axes if rectilinear projection is used and projections.polar.PolarAxes if polar projection is used.

Other Parameters:

**kwargs

This method also takes the keyword arguments for the returned Axes class. The keyword arguments for the rectilinear Axes class Axes can be found in the following table but there might also be other keyword arguments if another projection is used, see the actual Axes class.
