The answer seems to be to use the following after drawing the graph:
     ax = gca()
     ax.set_position([0.2,0.2,0.6,0.6])

This was taken from the mailing list discussion on GnuPlot's 'set size ratio' 
command - 
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5562487&forum_id=33405)

Is this the correct approach?

PS One thing that I am having trouble getting my head around fully is how best 
to handle the coding, i.e. I'd prefer to use the class library approach as I 
like it's clean, well structured nature, but a number of techniques, such as the 
above, are written/illustrated using the Pylab/Matlab commands which I find 
difficult to translate into the class library code. What is the best approach to 
  getting up the learning curve? Are there any problems with mixing the two 
approaches in the one code base?
