I want to save multiple (6) plots on one page of a pdf file using python. Currently, I'm saving every plot on a new page.
pdf = matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf.PdfPages("output.pdf")
for fig in plots:
pdf.savefig(plots[fig])
pdf.close()
The result I want to get is, that the first 6 plots are on page 1, the next 6 on page 2, and so on. Does somebody have an idea how to realize this?
Thank you in advance!
To save multiple plots on one page of pdf you can use subplot like this:
from matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf import PdfPages
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import math
# Get the angles from 0 to 2 pie (360 degree) in narray object
X = np.arange(0, math.pi*2, 0.05)
# Using built-in trigonometric function we can directly plot
# the given cosine wave for the given angles
Y1 = np.sin(X)
Y2 = np.cos(X)
Y3 = np.tan(X)
Y4 = np.tanh(X)
# Initialise the subplot function using number of rows and columns
figure, axis = plt.subplots(2, 2)
# For Sine Function
axis[0, 0].plot(X, Y1)
axis[0, 0].set_title("Sine Function")
# For Cosine Function
axis[0, 1].plot(X, Y2)
axis[0, 1].set_title("Cosine Function")
# For Tangent Function
axis[1, 0].plot(X, Y3)
axis[1, 0].set_title("Tangent Function")
# For Tanh Function
axis[1, 1].plot(X, Y4)
axis[1, 1].set_title("Tanh Function")
pp = PdfPages('onPage.pdf')
plt.savefig(pp, format='pdf')
pp.close()
output:
