This code generates a figure of 10 subplots depicting the graph of $\sin(n\pi x)$ for $n=0,1,\cdots, 9$. The subplot spacing is configured so that they "run into" each other vertically.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
nrows = 10
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows,1)
# Zero vertical space between subplots
fig.subplots_adjust(hspace=0)
x = np.linspace(0,1,1000)
for i in range(nrows):
# n=nrows for the top subplot, n=0 for the bottom subplot
n = nrows - i
axes[i].plot(x, np.sin(n * np.pi * x), 'k', lw=2)
# We only want ticks on the bottom of each subplot
axes[i].xaxis.set_ticks_position('bottom')
if i < nrows-1:
# Set ticks at the nodes (zeros) of our sine functions
axes[i].set_xticks(np.arange(0, 1, 1/n))
# We only want labels on the bottom subplot xaxis
axes[i].set_xticklabels('')
axes[i].set_yticklabels('')
plt.show()
