[Matplotlib-users] Adjusting the size of a subplot

[Andrew B. Y. <and...@sr...>]

Hello:

How does one go about controlling the size of a subplot?
I've got--

    figure = matplotlib.pylab.Figure()
    canvas = FigureCanvas( figure )
    axes_top = figure.add_subplot(211)
    axes_bottom = figure.add_subplot(212)

and I want the _top to occupy 4/5 of the png
and the _bottom to occupy the remaining 1/5.

Thanks!
Andrew
