title: subplots within subplots - two 8x8 subplots
body: <p>I'm trying to create subplot within two subplots to display images of different sizes.</p>
  
  <p>The main figure will be divided into two plots -- and each of those plots will
  be further divided into 8x8 subplots. I don't want any axes displayed.</p>
  
  <p>So I will have two subplots, displaying 64 images (64 subplots) each. </p>
  
  <p>It seems I need to use gridspec, but I don't know how to use axes.flatten with 
  gridspec.  axes.flatten lets me display 64 images onto one figure.</p>
  
  <pre><code>gs0 = gridspec.GridSpec(1, 2)
  
  gs00 = gridspec.GridSpecFromSubplotSpec(8, 8, subplot_spec=gs0[0])
  gs01 = gridspec.GridSpecFromSubplotSpec(8, 8, subplot_spec=gs0[1])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know how to combine the code below with gridspec, to create
  subplots.</p>
  
  <pre><code>fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=8, ncols=8,figsize = (12,6))
  
    for ax,image in zip(axes.flat,images):
              ax.axes.set_axis_off()
              ax.imshow(imread(image))
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>
