Show Slide containing title, name of the production team along with the logo of MHRD	Hello Friends. Welcome to the spoken tutorial on "Subplots".
Show Slide Objectives	At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to, Create and switch between subplots.
Show Slide System Specifications	To record this tutorial, I am using Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system Python 3.4.3 IPython 5.1.0
Show Slide Pre-requisites	To practise this tutorial, you should know how to run basic Python commands on the ipython console use Plots interactively Embellish a plot If not, see the pre-requisite Python tutorials on this website.
[Terminal] ipython3	Let us first open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T keys simultaneously. Now, type ipython3 and press Enter.
[IPython console] %pylab and press Enter.	Let us initialise the pylab package Type %pylab and press Enter
[IPython Terminal] x = linspace(0, 50, 500) plot(x, cos(x)) y = linspace(0, 5, 100) plot(y, y ** 2)	To compare two plots we draw the plots in the same plotting area. Let us now create two plots, a cosine plot and an exponential curve in the same plotting area. Type x = linspace(0, 50, 500) plot(x, cos(x)) y = linspace(0, 5, 100) plot(y, y ** 2)
[Plot Window]	Here the two plots have different regular axes so we cannot draw overlaid plots.
[IPython Terminal] clf() subplot(2, 1, 1)	In such cases we can draw subplots. We use subplot command to accomplish this Type clf() subplot(2, 1, 1)
[Plot Window]	We can see the first subplot.
Pause for a while	The subplot command takes three arguments. The first argument is the number of rows of subplots that must be created. Here the first argument is 2, to split the plot horizontally. The second argument is the number of columns of subplots that must be created. Here the second argument is 1, so plot will not split vertically. The last argument specifies the serial number for subplot. Here we passed 1 as the argument, which creates the upper subplot
[IPython Terminal] subplot(2, 1, 2)	If we execute the subplot command as subplot(2, 1, 2) The lower subplot is created.
[Plot Window]	Here, we can see two subplots.
[IPython Terminal] x = linspace(0, 50, 500) subplot(2, 1, 1) plot(x, cos(x)) y = linspace(0, 5, 100) subplot(2, 1, 2) plot(y, y ** 2)	Now we can draw plots in each of the subplot area using the plot command. Type subplot(2, 1, 1) plot(x, cos(x)) subplot(2, 1, 2) plot(y, y ** 2)
[Plot window]	This created two plots one in each of the subplot area. The top subplot holds a cosine curve and the bottom subplot holds a parabola. It is clear from the two subplots that both have different regular axes. For the cosine curve x-axis varies from 0 to 50 and y-axis varies from -1 to 1. For the parabolic curve x-axis varies from 0 to 5 and y-axis varies from 0 to 25.
[IPython Terminal] clf()	Clear the plot window
Show Slide Exercise 1 Pressure, Volume and Temperatures are held by the equation PV = nRT where nR is a constant. Assume nR =0.01 Joules/Kelvin and T = 200K. V can be in the range from 21cc to 100cc.	Pause the video. Try this exercise and then resume the video Pressure, Volume and Temperatures are held by the equation PV = nRT where nR is a constant. Assume nR =0.01 Joules/Kelvin and T = 200K. V can be in the range from 21cc to 100cc. Draw two different plots as subplots: Pressure v/s Volume plot and Pressure v/s Temperature plot.
	Switch to the terminal for the solution.
[IPython Terminal] v = linspace(21, 100, 500)	To start with, we have been given the range of Volume using which we can define the variable v.
[IPython Terminal] subplot(2, 1, 1) plot(v, 2.0/v)	We can create first subplot and draw Pressure v/s Volume graph using this v. We know that nRT is a constant which is equal to 2.0 since nR = 0.01 Joules/Kelvin and T = 200 Kelvin
[IPython Terminal] subplot(2, 1, 2) plot(200, 2.0/v)	Now we can create the second subplot and draw the Pressure v/s Temperature plot as follows
[IPython Terminal] t = linspace(200, 200, 500)	We have an error now, telling x and y dimensions don't match. So we will create same number of points for temperature.
[IPython Terminal] plot(t, 2.0/v)	Now, we have 500 values in t and each with the value 200 Kelvin. Plotting this data, we get the required plot.
[Plot Window]	We can see two subplots of Pressure v/s Volume and Pressure v/s Temperature respectively.
Show Slide Summary slide	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. In this tutorial, we have learnt to, Create subplots and to switch between them.
Show Slide Evaluation	Here are some self assessment questions for you to solve Which of the following is correct. subplot(numRows, numCols, plotNum) subplot(numRows, numCols) subplot(numCols, numRows)
Show Slide Solutions	And the answer is, first option. The subplot command takes three arguments namely the number of rows , number of columns and the plot number.
