How to add different graphs (as an inset) in another Python graph?

Python Matplotlib Server Side Programming Programming

To add different graphs (as an inset) in another Python graph, we can take the following steps −

Create x and y data points using numpy.
Using subplots() method, create a figure and a set of subplots, i.e., fig and ax.
To create a new axis, add axis to the existing figure (Step 2).
Plot x and y on the axis (Step 2).
Plot x and y on the new axis (Step 3).
To display the figure, use show() method.

Example

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
x = np.linspace(-1, 1, 100)
y = np.sin(x)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
left, bottom, width, height = [.30, 0.6, 0.2, 0.25]
ax_new = fig.add_axes([left, bottom, width, height])
ax.plot(x, y, color='red')
ax_new.plot(x, y, color='green')
plt.show()
