💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Trying to import 'Grid' or 'SpecGrid' which do not exist.

Importing from the wrong module.

The GridSpec class is imported from matplotlib.gridspec to create complex subplot layouts.

Complete the code to create a GridSpec with 3 rows and 2 columns.

Matplotlib

gs = GridSpec([1], 2)

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping rows and columns.

Using 2 instead of 3 for rows.

The first argument to GridSpec is the number of rows. Here, 3 rows and 2 columns create a 3x2 grid.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to add a subplot that spans the first row across both columns.

Matplotlib

ax = fig.add_subplot(gs[[1]])

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

A0, :

B0, 0

C0:1, :

D0:2, :

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a single index without slicing.

Selecting wrong rows or columns.

To span the first row (row index 0) across both columns, use gs[0, :].

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a subplot that covers the bottom two rows and the first column.

Matplotlib

ax = fig.add_subplot(gs[[1], [2]])

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

A1:

B:2

C0

D0:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using :2 which selects rows 0 and 1 instead of bottom rows.

Selecting wrong column index.

To cover the bottom two rows, use 1: which means rows 1 to the end. To select the first column, use 0.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps each subplot label to its axes object, only for subplots in the first column spanning all rows.

Matplotlib

axes_dict = {label: fig.add_subplot(gs[[1], [2]]) for label in labels if label [3] 'col1'}

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong row or column indices.

Using equality instead of containment in the condition.

The rows are selected with 0: to cover all rows. The first column is index 0. The condition uses in to check if the label is contained within 'col1'.
