Subplot spacing adjustment in Matplotlib - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to create a figure with 2 subplots arranged vertically.

Matplotlib

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

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using plt.show() instead of plt.tight_layout() before showing the plot.

Calling plt.subplot() which creates a single subplot, not adjusting spacing.

The tight_layout() function adjusts subplot spacing automatically to prevent overlap.

Complete the code to adjust horizontal space between subplots using subplots_adjust.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 2)
fig.subplots_adjust([1]=0.5)
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'hspace' which controls vertical spacing instead of horizontal.

Using 'top' or 'left' which control figure edges, not spacing between subplots.

The wspace parameter controls the width space between subplots.

hard

Fix the error in the code to adjust vertical space between subplots.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 1)
fig.subplots_adjust([1]=0.3)
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'wspace' which adjusts horizontal spacing.

Using 'width' or 'height' which are not valid parameters for subplots_adjust.

The hspace parameter adjusts vertical space between subplots.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create subplots and adjust both horizontal and vertical spacing.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 2)
fig.subplots_adjust([1]=0.4, [2]=0.6)
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'left' or 'right' which control figure edges, not spacing.

Mixing up 'wspace' and 'hspace' parameters.

wspace adjusts horizontal spacing and hspace adjusts vertical spacing between subplots.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create subplots, adjust spacing, and set a title for the figure.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axs = plt.subplots(3, 1)
fig.subplots_adjust([1]=0.5, [2]=0.4)
fig.[3]('My Subplots')
plt.show()

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

Csuptitle

Dtitle

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using title which sets title for individual subplots, not the figure.

Mixing up wspace and hspace values.

wspace and hspace adjust subplot spacing. suptitle sets the overall figure title.
