Making Custom Layouts for Plots
===============================

Below is a gallery of examples on making simple custom layouts for plotting data
using :class:`matplotlib.figure.SubFigure`.

.. Note::
    Plotting data with subfigures is slower than using separates figures.

    <div class="sphx-glr-thumbcontainer" tooltip="Custom layouts for hyperspy figures can be created using the matplotlib.figure.SubFigure class. Passing the fig argument to the plot method of a hyperspy signal object will target that figure instead of creating a new one. This is useful for creating custom layouts with multiple subplots.">

    <div class="sphx-glr-thumbcontainer" tooltip="ROI&#x27;s can be powerful tools to help visualize data.  In this case we will define ROI&#x27;s in hyperspy, sum the data within the ROI, and then plot the sum as a signal. Using the matplotlib.figure.SubFigure class we can create a custom layout to visualize and interact with the data.">
