[Matplotlib-users] imshow scaling

[Eric J. <jonas@MIT.EDU>]

I searched for a considerable amount of time this weekend, but have yet
to figure out how to do the following: 

I want to plot several M_i x N images side-by-side on a figure. In
particular, something like follows: 


|-----------------|   |--------|     |---|
|                 |   |        |     |   |
|                 |   |        |     |   |
|                 |   |        |     |   |
|                 |   |        |     |   |
|                 |   |        |     |   |
|                 |   |        |     |   |
|                 |   |        |     |   |
|                 |   |        |     |   |
-------------------   ----------     -----

That is, while each image has the same height, the widths
(in pixel values) are different. At the moment, I am plotting
each image in its own axes, but the problem appears to be that
the "fatter" image is being scaled down to the point
of being too small (and so that all subfigure sections are roughly the
same size). 

I want each image to eventually have independent sets of labels
along the X axis, so I can't just combine them all into one big image. 
Might anyone have any idea how to pull this off?
