在matplotlib的子图中嵌入小图

提问于

如果你想在较大的一个中插入一个小图，你可以使用Axes，如here .

问题是我不知道如何在子图中做同样的事情 .

我有几个子图，我想在每个子图中绘制一个小图 . 示例代码将是这样的：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()

for i in range(4):
    ax = fig.add_subplot(2,2,i)
    ax.plot(np.arange(11),np.arange(11),'b')

    #b = ax.axes([0.7,0.7,0.2,0.2]) 
    #it gives an error, AxesSubplot is not callable

    #b = plt.axes([0.7,0.7,0.2,0.2])
    #plt.plot(np.arange(3),np.arange(3)+11,'g')
    #it plots the small plot in the selected position of the whole figure, not inside the subplot

有任何想法吗？

提前致谢！

    我写了一个与plt.axes非常相似的函数 . 您可以使用它来绘制您的子子图 . 有一个例子......

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def add_subplot_axes(ax,rect,axisbg='w'):
    fig = plt.gcf()
    box = ax.get_position()
    width = box.width
    height = box.height
    inax_position  = ax.transAxes.transform(rect[0:2])
    transFigure = fig.transFigure.inverted()
    infig_position = transFigure.transform(inax_position)    
    x = infig_position[0]
    y = infig_position[1]
    width *= rect[2]
    height *= rect[3]  # <= Typo was here
    subax = fig.add_axes([x,y,width,height],axisbg=axisbg)
    x_labelsize = subax.get_xticklabels()[0].get_size()
    y_labelsize = subax.get_yticklabels()[0].get_size()
    x_labelsize *= rect[2]**0.5
    y_labelsize *= rect[3]**0.5
    subax.xaxis.set_tick_params(labelsize=x_labelsize)
    subax.yaxis.set_tick_params(labelsize=y_labelsize)
    return subax

def example1():
    fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
    ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
    rect = [0.2,0.2,0.7,0.7]
    ax1 = add_subplot_axes(ax,rect)
    ax2 = add_subplot_axes(ax1,rect)
    ax3 = add_subplot_axes(ax2,rect)
    plt.show()

def example2():
    fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
    axes = []
    subpos = [0.2,0.6,0.3,0.3]
    x = np.linspace(-np.pi,np.pi)
    for i in range(4):
        axes.append(fig.add_subplot(2,2,i))
    for axis in axes:
        axis.set_xlim(-np.pi,np.pi)
        axis.set_ylim(-1,3)
        axis.plot(x,np.sin(x))
        subax1 = add_subplot_axes(axis,subpos)
        subax2 = add_subplot_axes(subax1,subpos)
        subax1.plot(x,np.sin(x))
        subax2.plot(x,np.sin(x))
if __name__ == '__main__':
    example2()
    plt.show()

    来源：https://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/axes_demo.html

    from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.inset_locator import inset_axes
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# create some data to use for the plot
dt = 0.001
t = np.arange(0.0, 10.0, dt)
r = np.exp(-t[:1000]/0.05)               # impulse response
x = np.random.randn(len(t))
s = np.convolve(x, r)[:len(x)]*dt  # colored noise

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(9, 4),facecolor='white')
ax = fig.add_subplot(121)
# the main axes is subplot(111) by default
plt.plot(t, s)
plt.axis([0, 1, 1.1*np.amin(s), 2*np.amax(s)])
plt.xlabel('time (s)')
plt.ylabel('current (nA)')
plt.title('Subplot 1: \n Gaussian colored noise')

# this is an inset axes over the main axes
inset_axes = inset_axes(ax, 
                    width="50%", # width = 30% of parent_bbox
                    height=1.0, # height : 1 inch
                    loc=1)
n, bins, patches = plt.hist(s, 400, normed=1)
#plt.title('Probability')
plt.xticks([])
plt.yticks([])

ax = fig.add_subplot(122)
# the main axes is subplot(111) by default
plt.plot(t, s)
plt.axis([0, 1, 1.1*np.amin(s), 2*np.amax(s)])
plt.xlabel('time (s)')
plt.ylabel('current (nA)')
plt.title('Subplot 2: \n Gaussian colored noise')

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

    您现在可以使用matplotlibs inset_axes 方法执行此操作（请参阅docs）：

    from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.inset_locator import inset_axes
inset_axes = inset_axes(parent_axes,
                    width="30%", # width = 30% of parent_bbox
                    height=1., # height : 1 inch
                    loc=3)

    Update: 正如Kuti所指出的，对于matplotlib 2.1或更高版本，您应该将import语句更改为：

    from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator import inset_axes

    现在还有一个full example显示所有可用的选项 .

    从matplotlib 3.0开始，您可以使用matplotlib.axes.Axes.inset_axes：

    import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, axes = plt.subplots(2,2)

for ax in axes.flat:
    ax.plot(np.arange(11),np.arange(11))

    ins = ax.inset_axes([0.7,0.7,0.2,0.2])

plt.show()

    在@jrieke's answer中提到的 mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.inset_locator.inset_axes 的区别在于它更容易使用（没有额外的进口等），但缺点是灵活性稍差（没有填充或角落位置的参数） .
