Matplotlib subplots_adjust hspace so titles and xlabels don't overlap?

To adjust the vertical spacing (hspace) between subplots in Matplotlib so that titles and x-labels don't overlap, you can use the subplots_adjust() function. The hspace parameter controls the vertical spacing between subplots. Here's how you can do it:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np # Create subplots with tight_layout fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 1, figsize=(6, 6)) fig.tight_layout() # Set titles and labels axs[0].set_title("Plot 1") axs[0].set_xlabel("X-axis") axs[0].set_ylabel("Y-axis") axs[0].plot(np.arange(0, 10), np.arange(0, 10)) axs[1].set_title("Plot 2") axs[1].set_xlabel("X-axis") axs[1].set_ylabel("Y-axis") axs[1].plot(np.arange(0, 10), np.arange(0, 10)) # Adjust vertical spacing (hspace) between subplots plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.5) # Adjust the value as needed # Display the plot plt.show()

In this example:

  • We create two subplots using plt.subplots(2, 1) to create a 2x1 grid of subplots.

  • We set titles, x-labels, and y-labels for each subplot using the set_title(), set_xlabel(), and set_ylabel() methods of each axis.

  • We use plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.5) to adjust the vertical spacing (hspace) between the subplots. You can adjust the value of hspace as needed to prevent overlapping titles and x-labels. In this example, I set it to 0.5, but you can increase or decrease it according to your layout requirements.

  • Finally, we display the plot using plt.show().

By adjusting the hspace parameter, you can control the vertical spacing between subplots to ensure that titles and x-labels do not overlap.

Examples

  1. How to adjust subplot spacing in Matplotlib to prevent title and xlabel overlap? Description: This query seeks information on adjusting subplot spacing (hspace) in Matplotlib to avoid overlap between subplot titles and x-axis labels.

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Generate example data x = [1, 2, 3] y1 = [4, 5, 6] y2 = [7, 8, 9] fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2) # Plot data on subplots ax1.plot(x, y1) ax2.plot(x, y2) # Adjust spacing between subplots plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.5) # Set titles and x-labels ax1.set_title('Plot 1') ax2.set_title('Plot 2') ax2.set_xlabel('X-axis Label') plt.show()

  2. Matplotlib subplots_adjust hspace doesn't prevent overlap between titles and x-labels Description: This query indicates a problem where adjusting hspace alone might not resolve the overlap issue between subplot titles and x-axis labels. It might require additional adjustments or methods.

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Generate example data x = [1, 2, 3] y1 = [4, 5, 6] y2 = [7, 8, 9] fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2) # Plot data on subplots ax1.plot(x, y1) ax2.plot(x, y2) # Adjust spacing between subplots plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.5) # Set titles and x-labels ax1.set_title('Plot 1') ax2.set_title('Plot 2') # Manually adjust layout to avoid overlap plt.tight_layout() plt.show()

  3. How to increase space between subplots in Matplotlib? Description: This query is broader and seeks information on increasing the space between subplots in Matplotlib, which can indirectly address the issue of overlap between titles and x-labels.

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Generate example data x = [1, 2, 3] y1 = [4, 5, 6] y2 = [7, 8, 9] fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2) # Plot data on subplots ax1.plot(x, y1) ax2.plot(x, y2) # Increase space between subplots plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.8) # Set titles and x-labels ax1.set_title('Plot 1') ax2.set_title('Plot 2') ax2.set_xlabel('X-axis Label') plt.show()
