[Matplotlib-users] Possible to get variable spacing between certain subplots?

[Will G. <wg...@mi...>]

Hello matplotlib-users,

I'm using subplots to make an array of plots, but because some of the plots
have wider y-axis tick labels than others, some of the subplots end up
looking too close to each other.  Here's an image that shows what I mean:

I'm currently using pylab.subplots_adjust(hspace = __, vspace = __) to
adjust the subplot spacing, but since that applies to all subplots, no one
setting looks right for the entire array of plots.  Is there any way to set
the spacing so that the subplots *plus tick labels* are evenly distributed?
 Or can I manually specify the spacing between each subplot?  Thanks,

 --Will
