![Matplotlib: Typeerror: 'Axessubplot' Object Is Not Subscriptable [Duplicate]](https://docuprint.cloud68.co/uploads/matplotlib-typeerror-axessubplot-object-is-not-subscriptable_1200.jpg)
I am trying to make a simple box plot of a variable 'x' contained in two dataframes, df1 and df2. To do this I am using the following code:
fig, axs = plt.subplots()
axs[0, 0].boxplot([df1['x'], df2['x']])
plt.show();
However, I get this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-108-ce962754d553> in <module>()
----> 2 axs[0, 0].boxplot([df1['x'], df2['x']])
3 plt.show();
4
TypeError: 'AxesSubplot' object is not subscriptable
Any ideas?

fig, axs = plt.subplots()
returns a figure with only one single subplot, so axs already holds it without indexing.
fig, axs = plt.subplots(3)
returns a 1D array of subplots.
fig, axs = plt.subplots(3, 2)
returns a 2D array of subplots.
Note that this is only due to the default setting of the kwarg squeeze=True.
By setting it to False you can force the result to be a 2D-array, independant of the number or arrangement of the subplots.
