Erik,

Instead of changing the figure size, you can use the pyplot 
subplots_adjust() function or the Figure.subplots_adjust() method to 
change the axes size and positioning within the figure.

Another approach is to use the subplotpars kwarg to adjust the 
positioning parameters when initializing the figure.
