They also share a color bar, however, and the only way I've been able to get that to draw in a sane way was to give it it's own axes instance in a separate cell of the gridspec. I therefore want to remove the space between the main plots without removing it for the color bar. This worked fine for the wider than tall plots since I could stack them and set hspace to 0 and have the color bar extend across rows. For the pair of plots that are more square, and therefor best put side by side, I'm having trouble finding a solution.

Sean,

I *think* the best way to do this is use multiple GridSpec objects
within a single figure. Does this example help?
