title: Python - matplotlib - differences between subplot() and subplots()
body: <p>I'm kind of new in coding and thus in python so this may sound quite dumb, but what are the main differences between .subplot() and .subplots() methods from matplotlib in python?</p>
  
  <p>I didn't find this explanation anywhere else and after reading the documentation from <a href="https://matplotlib.org/" rel="noreferrer">https://matplotlib.org/</a> I inferred that with both methods you can create as many figures and plots as you want...so for me both of them seem to be quite the same thing and they just differ the way you can handle plots, axes, etc...or am I wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Btw, I am using python3 in jupyter notebook if it makes any difference.</p>
