+==========================
+Creating adjacent subplots
+==========================
+
+To create plots that share a common axis (visually) you can set the hspace
+between the subplots to zero. Passing sharex=True when creating the subplots
+will automatically turn off all x ticks and labels except those on the bottom
+axis.
+
+In this example the plots share a common x axis but you can follow the same
+logic to supply a common y axis.
