Drawing lines between two plots in Matplotlib

by

The solution from the other answers are suboptimal in many cases (as they would only work if no changes are made to the plot after calculating the points).

A better solution would use the specially designed ConnectionPatch:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.patches import ConnectionPatch
import numpy as np

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,5))
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(121)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(122)

x,y = np.random.rand(100),np.random.rand(100)

ax1.plot(x,y,'ko')
ax2.plot(x,y,'ko')

i = 10
xy = (x[i],y[i])
con = ConnectionPatch(xyA=xy, xyB=xy, coordsA="data", coordsB="data",
                      axesA=ax2, axesB=ax1, color="red")
ax2.add_artist(con)

ax1.plot(x[i],y[i],'ro',markersize=10)
ax2.plot(x[i],y[i],'ro',markersize=10)


plt.show()
