Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'subplot' instead of 'add_subplot' on the figure object.

Using 'plot' which is for plotting data, not creating axes.

The add_subplot method adds a subplot to the figure. The code 111 means 1 row, 1 column, first subplot.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to create a 2x2 grid of subplots and select the second subplot.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot([1])
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

B212

C122

D221

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '221' which selects the first subplot.

Using '212' which is 2 rows, 1 column, 2nd subplot.

The code 222 means 2 rows, 2 columns, and select the 2nd subplot.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly add a subplot to the figure.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.[1](1, 2, 1)
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'subplot' which is a pyplot function, not a figure method.

Using 'addplot' which does not exist.

The add_subplot method accepts three separate arguments for rows, columns, and index.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a 3x1 grid and select the second subplot.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.[1]([2])
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'subplot' instead of 'add_subplot'.

Using '311' which selects the first subplot.

Use add_subplot method with code 312 for 3 rows, 1 column, 2nd subplot.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a 2x3 grid and select the fourth subplot.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.[1]([2], [3], 4)
plt.show()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'
