How to show an AxesSubplot in Python?

Question

I have an object fig2 that is a class mathplotlib.axes.axessubplot, but when I try to execute fig2.show(), python says axessubplot object has no attribute show. How can I show AxesSubplot?

Answer 1

You should call matplotlib.pyplot.show(), which is a method that displays all the figures.

If you have imported as plt, then:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  # create fig1 (of type plt.figure) # create fig2  plt.show()  # will display fig1 and fig2 in different windows 

Answer 2

Alternatively, you could call the figure attribute of your fig2:

fig2.figure
