Hi,
I am new to matplotlib. Currently I have a need to change the subplot
orders after the subplts have been added to a figure. I haven't found a
way to do it easily. One of my solution is to keep an ordered list of
the subplots and re-add them in the correct order. But this way, all the
navigation information (zoom/pan) is lost. Another way I found is to
get the positions (get_position method of Axes) of the subplot and
then set the positions according to the new order, which is quite
cumbersom. I am thinking if there is a similar method like add_subplot
(that is, accepting new positional information of row, column, number
instead of Bbox), it will be great. Does anyone know any better
solution?
Also related to this, I need to add a subplot using the add_subplot
method of the Figure class, and update the previously added subplots
accordingly. For example, I add a subplot using add_subplot(1, 1, 1).
Then later, I need to add another subplot. The new layout should be
the first plot being 211, the second one being 212. How do I change
the first plot from 111 to 211? I haven't found a way other than re-add
the plots. Can some one shed some light on me please?
Thanks
