import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
      
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
  
ax.set_xlabel('x-axis')
ax.set_ylabel('y-axis')
  
ax.plot([1, 2, 3])

# Implementation of matplotlib function
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
      
t = np.linspace(0.0, 2.0, 201)
s = np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)
   
fig, [ax, ax1] = plt.subplots(2, 1
                              sharex = True)
   
ax.set_ylabel('y-axis')
ax.plot(t, s)
ax.grid(True)
ax.set_title('Sample Example',
