In R there's a cool way to automatically tile a series of plots. if I execute: par(2,2) then I can seqentially call plot(...) to get a 2x2 grid of plots
In matplot lib, it seems difficult to do this. I don't enjoy writing the fig, ax = plt.subplots() and then doing the loop through axes to plot each time... this seems like overkill.
Is there a higher level way to get the same behavior from python?
