Hi, I have a number of figures created from functions like this: fig1 = plot_fig1(data1) fig2 = plot_fig2(data2) etc. Now instead of having two separate figure windows displaying the plots, I would like them to appear as subplots in a new figure (single window) and close the previous figures. Other than moving to the subplot in a new figure, I would like everything about the plot to remain the same (titles, labels, scale,ticks etc.) I had imagined something like this would be possible: newfig = figure() sp1 = subplot(211) for x in fig1.get_children(): x.set_axes(sp1) or similar, but it doesn't seem to work. Also, when trying something like this, does it matter if the original figure windows are already closed? (ie does the act of closing the window change the objects to make them not show-able any more). I'm not sure if I can do this reallocation by figure or axes, that is what I was asking really. > It looks like that might be doable if you create the > new figure, then for each axes call ax.set_figure(newfig), and then for > each axes call newfig.add_axes(ax). I would be not the least surprised > if all this failed, though. If I move the axes over as you describe, will this also bring the plotted data, titles etc.? I will try and play around with this later today. Would I first have to delete the existing axes created when I create the subplot? Wouldn't that make a problem, since isn't it these created axis that have the important subplot position properties (if I just move over the existing axes how will the subplot placing work). I imagine I might have to, copy over the axes from old figure, set position and size of old axes to those of new subplot axes, copy over all children (rectangles, text etc.)? Alternatively if theres another way of achieving the same thing. I thought I could modify the functions to take an optional axes argument, so if not present they make a new figure, and if present they use that: fig = figure() sp1 = subplot(211) plot_data1(data1, axes=sp1) but then I'm not sure how inside the function, I use plot commands (bar, plot, imshow) on this provided subplot axis.
