See http://matplotlib.sf.net/faq.html#TEXTOVERLAP

Basically the subplots are fixed sizes - they don't automatically
adjust in response to the items placed on or around them.  One could
write a layout engine to do this, but there isn't one current.  You
have to adjust parameters as described in the link above.
