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

say have bunch of ax1,ax2,ax3... , want run them through plotting function:

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

(obviously simplified)

how repeat command without doing:

plotxy(ax1,x,y) plotxy(ax2,x,y) ... plotxy(axn,x,y) 

i'm sure there way create temp variable holds axn in loop 1 line. ideas? shorten code i've got heaps of things need plot same command differing x & y , on multiple subplots.

i guess part of large question of constructing variable names using loop?

you can try this:

import matplotlib.pyplot plt fig, axs = plt.subplots(nrows=3, ncols=2)  ax in axs.flat:     plotxy(ax,x,y) 

if use plt.subplot or plt.axes can create list/array of axes hand
