Multiple pie charts using matplotlib

Question

I'm trying to display two charts at the same time using matplotlib.

But I have to close one graph then only I can see the other graph. Is there anyway to display both the graphs or more number of graphs at the same time.

Here is my code

num_pass=np.size(data[0::,1].astype(np.float))
num_survive=np.sum(data[0::,1].astype(np.float))
prop=num_survive/num_pass
num_dead=num_pass-num_survive
#print num_dead


labels='Dead','Survived'
sizes=[num_dead,num_survive]
colors=['darkorange','green']
mp.axis('equal')
mp.title('Titanic Survival Chart')
mp.pie(sizes, explode=(0.02,0), labels=labels,colors=colors,autopct='%1.1f%%', shadow=True, startangle=90)
mp.show()

women_only_stats = data[0::,4] == "female" 
men_only_stats = data[0::,4] != "female" 

# Using the index from above we select the females and males separately
women_onboard = data[women_only_stats,1].astype(np.float)     
men_onboard = data[men_only_stats,1].astype(np.float)

labels='Men','Women'
sizes=[np.sum(women_onboard),np.sum(men_onboard)]
colors=['purple','red']
mp.axis('equal')
mp.title('People on board')
mp.pie(sizes, explode=(0.01,0), labels=labels,colors=colors,autopct='%1.1f%%', shadow=True, startangle=90)
mp.show()

How can I show both the graphs at the same time?

Answer 1

There are several ways to do this, and the simplest is to use multiple figure numbers. Simply tell matplotlib that you are working on separate figures, and then show them simultaneously:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure(0)
# Create first chart here.

plt.figure(1)
# Create second chart here.

plt.show() #show all figures
