Set Background Color For Subplot

Say I have an image made of 4 sub plots like so: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np # Simple data to display in various forms x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 400) y =

Solution 1:

You can simply do axarr[1,0].set_facecolor('grey') to change the axis color for any particular axis manually.

matplotlib accepts many different color strings (examples here and here) as well as hex values in HTML strings (for example '#eeefff').

Solution 2:

Axes.set_axis_bgcolor() has been deprecated since version 2.0. Use set_facecolor() now.
