How to prepare 2 row, 5 column grid to plot 10 boxplot in one figure using seaborn or matplotlib library?

Question

I am trying to plot a 10box plot in one image, in two rows, with the given code but no success, how can I implement this idea.

fig, axes =plt.subplots(2,5)
sns.set_style("darkgrid")

for i,t in enumerate(new_fs):
    df = pd.read_csv(t,sep='\t')

    sns.boxplot(data=df,  orient='v',ax=axes[i % 2] )

Thank you.

As per the documentation for plt.subplots() :

for NxM, subplots with N>1 and M>1 are returned as a 2D array.

Therefore, your variable axes is a 2D array, you need to access the individual axes using axes[i,j] .

Alternatively, I would rewrite your for loop like so:

for t,ax in zip(new_fs, axes.flat):
    df = pd.read_csv(t,sep='\t')
    sns.boxplot(data=df, orient='v', ax=ax)
