00:01 Hello Friends. Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Subplots.
00:06 At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to create and switch between subplots.
00:14 To record this tutorial, I am using

Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system

Python 3.4.3

IPython 5.1.0

00:29 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.

00:48 Let us first open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T keys simultaneously.

Now, type ipython3 and press Enter.

01:01 Let us initialise the pylab package. Type percentage pylab and press Enter
01:10 To compare two plots we draw the plots in the same plotting area.
01:15 Let us now create two plots- a cosine plot and an exponential curve in the same plotting area.
01:24 Type

x equals to linspace inside brackets 0 comma 50 comma 500 and press Enter.

plot inside brackets x comma cos(x)

01:45 Type

y equals to linspace inside brackets 0 comma 5 comma 100. plot inside brackets y comma y square.

02:04 Here the two plots have different regular axes. So we cannot draw overlaid plots.
02:13 In such cases we can draw subplots.
02:17 We use subplot command to accomplish this.

Type

clf()

subplot inside the brackets 2 comma 1 comma 1

02:33 We can see the first subplot. The subplot command takes three arguments.
02:40 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.

02:53 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.

03:07 The last argument specifies the serial number for the subplot.

Here we passed 1 as the argument, which creates the upper subplot

03:19 If we execute the subplot command as

subplot inside the brackets 2 comma 1 comma 2 the lower subplot is created.

03:34 Here, we can see two subplots.
03:38 Now we can draw plots in each of the subplot area using the plot command.

Type

subplot inside brackets 2 comma 1 comma 1

plot inside brackets x comma cos(x)

04:00 Now type

subplot inside brackets 2 comma 1 comma 2

plot y comma y square

04:16 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.
04:29 It is clear from the two subplots that both have different regular axes.
04:35 For the cosine curve, x-axis varies from 0 to 50 and y-axis varies from minus 1 to 1.
04:46 For the parabolic curve, x-axis varies from 0 to 5 and y-axis varies from 0 to 25.
04:57 Now clear the plot window
05:00 Pause the video. Try this exercise and then resume the video
05:05 Pressure, Volume and Temperatures are held by the equation Pv equals to nRT where nR is a constant.
05:16 Assume nR equals to 0.01 Joules per Kelvin and T equals to 200K. V can be in the range from 21cc to 100cc.
05:29 Draw two different plots as subplots:

Pressure v/s Volume plot and

Pressure v/s Temperature plot.

05:39 Switch to the terminal for the solution.
05:43 To start with, we have been given the range of Volume from which we can define the variable v.
05:51 v equals to linspace inside brackets 21 comma 100 comma 500
06:03 We can create first subplot and draw Pressure v/s Volume graph using this v.

subplot(2 comma 1 comma 1)

plot(v comma 2 point 0 by v)

06:24 We know that nRT is a constant which is equal to 2.0

since nR = equals to 0.01 Joules per Kelvin and T equals to 200 Kelvin

06:38 Now we can create the second subplot and draw the Pressure v/s Temperature plot as follows

subplot(2 comma 1 comma 2)

plot(200 comma 2 point 0 divided by v)

07:02 We have an error now, telling x and y dimensions don't match.
07:08 So we will create same number of points for temperature.
07:14 Type

t equals to linspace inside brackets 200 comma 200 comma 500.

07:27 Now, we have 500 values in t and each with the value 200 Kelvin.
07:35 Plotting this data, we get the required plot.

plot inside brackets t comma 2 point 0 divided by v

07:48 We can see two subplots of Pressure v/s Volume and Pressure v/s Temperature respectively.
07:56 This brings us to the end of this tutorial.

In this tutorial, we have learnt to create subplots and to switch between them.

08:08 Here are some self assessment questions for you to solve.
08:12 1.Which of the following is correct?

subplot inside brackets numRows comma numCols, plotNum

subplot inside brackets numRows comma numCols

subplot inside brackets numCols comma numRows

08:36 And the answer is first option.

1.The subplot command takes three arguments namely the number of rows, number of columns and the plot number.
