multiple graph (not subplot) using python and matplotlib

I would like to plot two or more graphs at once using python and matplotlib. I do not want to use subplot since it is actually two or more plots on the same drawing paper.

Is there any way to do it?

You can use multiple figures and plot some data in each of them. The easiest way of doing so is to call plt.figure() and use the pyplot statemachine.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure() # creates a figure
plt.plot([1,2,3])

plt.figure() # creates a new figure
plt.plot([3,2,1])

plt.show() # opens a window for each of the figures

If for whatever reason after creating a second figure you want to plot to the first one, you need to 'activate' it via

plt.figure(1)
plt.plot([2,3,1]) # this is plotted to the first figure.

(Figure numbers start at 1)
