How to 2 plots side by side?

[hellojinwoo]

Can I plot 2 scatterplots with categories side by side? For example, let's say I have made a scatter plot with following code from Example 1 - Category Scatter from Pandas DataFrames

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mlxtend.plotting import category_scatter

fig = category_scatter(x='x', y='y', label_col='label', 
                       data=df, legend_loc='upper left')

How can I plot the above one side by side with another scatterplots with categories? I have tried using the code style below and it did not work...

fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=1,ncols=2,figsize=(18,7))

Unfortunately, I think you are right and this is currently not possible. The category_scatter function is among the oldest ones in mlxtend, and the API is not ideal. To address the issue you have, we would need to add an option to accept the fig and axes as function parameters similar to the scatterplotmatrix function:
