plot a large number of axis objects using one command through a loop

Question

Say I have a bunch of ax1,ax2,ax3... and I want to run them through a plotting function:

def plotxy(ax,x,y):
    x = np.array(x)
    y = np.array(y)
    ax.plot(         


        

Answer 1

I'm probably missing something in your question, but why don't you just use a simple loop?

for ax in ( ax1, ax2, ..., axn ):
    plotxy(ax,x,y)

You can also avoid the explicit listing all variables:

axes = ( locals()['ax%d'%i] for i in range(1, n+1) )
for ax in axes:
    plotxy(ax,x,y)
