Question

I found the following example on matplotlib   import numpy as np import matplotlib pyplot as plt   x1   np linspace 0 0  5 0  x2   np linspace 0 0  2 0   y1   np cos 2   np pi   x1    np exp -x1  y2   np cos 2   np pi   x2   plt subplot 2  1  1  plt plot x1  y1   ko-   plt title  A tale of 2 subplots   plt ylabel  Damped oscillation     plt subplot 2  1  2  plt plot x2  y2   r -   plt xlabel  time  s    plt ylabel  Undamped    plt show     My question is  What do i need to change  to have the plots side-by-side

Change your subplot settings to   plt subplot 1  2  1        plt subplot 1  2  2    The parameters for subplot are  number of rows  number of columns  and which subplot you re currently on  So 1  2  1 means  a 1-row  2-column figure  go to the first subplot   Then 1  2  2 means  a 1-row  2-column figure  go to the second subplot    You currently are asking for a 2-row  1-column  that is  one atop the other  layout  You need to ask for a 1-row  2-column layout instead  When you do  the result will be     In order to minimize the overlap of subplots  you might want to kick in a   plt tight layout     before the show  Yielding

You can use - matplotlib gridspec GridSpec Check - https   matplotlib org stable api  as gen matplotlib gridspec GridSpec html The below code displays a heatmap on right and an Image on left   Creating 1 row and 2 columns grid gs   gridspec GridSpec 1  2   fig   plt figure figsize  25 3     Using the 1st row and 1st column for plotting heatmap ax plt subplot gs 0 0   ax sns heatmap   1 23 5 8 5   annot True    Using the 1st row and 2nd column to show the image ax1 plt subplot gs 0 1   ax1 grid False  ax1 set yticklabels     ax1 set xticklabels       The below lines are used to display the image on ax1 image   io imread  quot https   images-na ssl-images- amazon com images I 51MvhqY1qdL  SL160  jpg quot    plt imshow image  plt show    Output image

Check this page out  http   matplotlib org examples pylab examples subplots demo html  plt subplots is similar  I think it s better since it s easier to set parameters of the figure  The first two arguments define the layout  in your case 1 row  2 columns   and other parameters change features such as figure size   import numpy as np import matplotlib pyplot as plt  x1   np linspace 0 0  5 0  x2   np linspace 0 0  2 0  y1   np cos 2   np pi   x1    np exp -x1  y2   np cos 2   np pi   x2   fig  axes   plt subplots nrows 1  ncols 2  figsize  5  3   axes 0  plot x1  y1  axes 1  plot x2  y2  fig tight layout
