How to Add Axes to a Figure in Matplotlib with Python?

# Importing library
import matplotlib
# Create figure() objects
# This acts as a container
# for the different plots
fig = matplotlib.pyplot.figure()
# Creating axis
# add_axes([xmin,ymin,dx,dy])
axes = fig.add_axes([0.5, 1, 0.5, 1])
# Depict illustration
fig.show()

# Importing library
import matplotlib
# Create figure() objects
# This acts as a container 
# for the different plots
fig=matplotlib.pyplot.figure() 
# Creating two axes
# add_axes([xmin,ymin,dx,dy])
axes=fig.add_axes([0,0,2,2]) 
axes1=fig.add_axes([0,1,2,2])
# Depict illustration
fig.show()

# Import libraries
import matplotlib
import numpy
# Create figure() objects
# This acts as a container
# for the different plots
fig = matplotlib.pyplot.figure()
# Generate line graph
x = numpy.arange(0, 1.414*2, 0.05)
y1 = numpy.sin(x)
y2 = numpy.cos(x)
# Creating two axes
# add_axes([xmin,ymin,dx,dy])
axes1 = fig.add_axes([0, 0, 1, 1])
axes1.plot(x, y1)
axes2 = fig.add_axes([0, 1, 1, 1])
axes2.plot(x, y2)
# Show plot
plt.show()
