In this python script is an attempt to create two histogram in one figure but the second histogram overlaps the first one
from random import randrange
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(50,50))
ids = [ str(randrange(10000, 99999)) for i in range(1000)]
ids2 = [ str(randrange(10000, 99999)) for i in range(1000)]
def fun1():
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
n, bins, patches = ax.hist(x=ids, bins=range(500))
ax.grid(axis='y', alpha=0.6)
fig.tight_layout(pad=3.0, w_pad=2.0, h_pad=2.0)
def fun2():
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(2, 1, 2)
n, bins, patches = ax2.hist(x=ids2, bins=range(500))
ax2.grid(axis='y', alpha=0.6)
fun1()
fun2()
although I used tight_layout this does not help with the overlapping of the two histograms.
>Solution :
You have specified the subplots in this order
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(2, 1, 2)
What you meant should be this
ax = fig.add_subplot(2, 1, 1)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(2, 1, 2)
(2, 1) will arrange the plots in 2 rows and 1 column, then the third parameter is to specify subplots 1 and 2
If you specify (1, 2) there will be 1 row and 2 columns
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 2, 1)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(1, 2, 2)
