Re: [Matplotlib-users] Controlling spacing between subplots

[Jeffrey S. <jef...@gm...>]

Not sure what you mean global axis but I think I was trying to do 
something similar with this. This is the chunk of one subplot. 
Specifically look at last three lines:
ax = fig.add_subplot(2,2,2)
ax.set_title('b) 5')
ax.set_ylim((0,yUpper))
for i in tempRun:
     ax.plot(x,actSum[1,semi,i,semi], label=tempLabel[i],   
linestyle=dashs[i%len(dashs)], color=plotColor[i%len(plotColor)])
clear_spines(ax)
ax.set_xticklabels('')
ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('left')
ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('bottom')

Cheers,
Jeff
