I'm running into issues with some subplots. I've provided some sample code to generate the types of plots I would like to create. I'd like these to be the same size, side by side.
I'm am having a really hard time figuring out how to create the subplots though. I keep running into some issues with the thetagrids here. This is what i've tried. I can get these to work seprarately, but cant figure out how to combine them. Eventually I might want a third plot as well.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
## Plot 1
x1 = np.array([0, 1, 2, 3])
y1 = np.array([7, 2, 4, 2])
plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
plt.figure(figsize=(5, 5))
plt.scatter(x1, y1)
# plt.show()
### Plot 2
# make up data for plot
polar_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a']
polar_points = [4, 3, 6, 7, 4]
# modify lists for plots
label_loc = np.linspace(start=0, stop=2 * np.pi, num=len(polar_list))
plt.figure(figsize=(5, 5))
plt.subplot(1, 2, 2, polar=True)
plt.plot(label_loc, polar_points, label='DataLable')
plt.title('DataLable comparison', size=20, y=1.05)
lines, labels = plt.thetagrids(np.degrees(label_loc), labels=polar_list)
plt.legend()
plt.show()
You are creating a new figure every time you call plt.figure()
. Just place one at the very beginning and then the plt.subplot()
will add subplots to the figures.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
## Plot 1
x1 = np.array([0, 1, 2, 3])
y1 = np.array([7, 2, 4, 2])
plt.figure(figsize= (5, 5))
plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
plt.scatter(x1, y1)
# plt.show()
### Plot 2
# make up data for plot
polar_list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'a']
polar_points = [4, 3, 6, 7, 4]
# modify lists for plots
label_loc = np.linspace(start=0, stop=2 * np.pi, num=len(polar_list))
plt.subplot(1, 2, 2, polar=True)
plt.plot(label_loc, polar_points, label='DataLable')
plt.title('DataLable comparison', size=20, y=1.05)
lines, labels = plt.thetagrids(np.degrees(label_loc), labels=polar_list)
plt.legend()
plt.show()
