`~.pyplot.subplots()` is the recommended method to generate simple subplot
arrangements:

.. code-block:: default


    fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2, 1)
    fig.suptitle('A tale of 2 subplots')

    ax1.plot(x1, y1, 'o-')
    ax1.set_ylabel('Damped oscillation')

    ax2.plot(x2, y2, '.-')
    ax2.set_xlabel('time (s)')
    ax2.set_ylabel('Undamped')

    plt.show()

Subplots can also be generated one at a time using `~.pyplot.subplot()`:

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 40-52

.. code-block:: default


    plt.subplot(2, 1, 1)
    plt.plot(x1, y1, 'o-')
    plt.title('A tale of 2 subplots')
    plt.ylabel('Damped oscillation')

    plt.subplot(2, 1, 2)
    plt.plot(x2, y2, '.-')
    plt.xlabel('time (s)')
    plt.ylabel('Undamped')

    plt.show()
