This notebook presents a working example of adjusting texts for multiple subplots, related to https://github.com/Phlya/adjustText/issues/58

[1]:

%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Matplotlib 2.0 shown here
from adjustText import adjust_text
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

With multiple subplots, run adjust_text for one subplot at a timeΒΆ

[2]:

fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(8, 3), sharex=True, sharey=True)
axes = axes.ravel()

for k, ax in enumerate(axes):
    np.random.seed(0)
    x, y = np.random.random((2,30))
    ax.plot(x, y, 'bo')

    texts = []
    for i in range(len(x)):
        t = ax.text(x[i], y[i], 'Text%s' %i, ha='center', va='center')
        texts.append(t)
    %time adjust_text(texts, ax=ax)

CPU times: user 12 s, sys: 263 ms, total: 12.2 s
Wall time: 12.3 s
CPU times: user 2.41 s, sys: 60.4 ms, total: 2.47 s
Wall time: 2.47 s

Note that there is time discrepancy between the two subplots, which is under investigation.
