[Matplotlib-users] axes placement depends on figsize?

[ramirodsl <ram...@gm...>]

Can someone explain to me how/why the figure normalized [0,1] coordinates
depends on the figsize property? At least this is what it looks like to me.
This affects axes placement and so far I haven't been able to do what I
want.

I want to have square plots placed without spacing between them and with a
little margin on the left and top. So I tried:

s=0.4
axes([0.01, 0.99-s, s, s],aspect='equal')
axes([0.01+s, 0.99-s, s, s],aspect='equal')
axes([0.01, 0.99-2*s, s, s],aspect='equal')
axes([0.01+s, 0.99-2*s, s, s],aspect='equal')

The vertical positioning works as I expected but the x positioning does not
work. The axes have spacing between them - which means that 0.1 represents a
different size in x or in y - and I just can't understand that behavior.

Now if I add:
figure(figsize=(5,5))
it works

But this is not the solution I need because the real plot I'm trying to do
is a 6x5 (6 axes per 5 axes, subplots if you mean) plot with horizontal
spacing only between the 3rd and 4th axes. There is no way I could now the
correct aspect ratio that I should set figsize to, to get it right.

How could I manage this?

Thank you

Ramiro
