When you say "own axes", I presume you're using subplots. You need to create your axes with different sizes (subplot creates axes with same size), so that the height of images are equal when they shrink to to fit in the axes box. You may create an axes with a given size with following command
fig.add_axes([0.2, 0.08, 0.6, 0.04]) where the input list specifies the position of the axes in the normalized figure coordinate. But you need to manually calculate the correct axes position. In the example directory of the mpl svn, there are little helper classes I wrote (axes_grid.py, axes_divider.py). The link below shows a little example how you can use them. http://abitofpythonabitofastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/02/images-side-by-side-in-mpl.html -JJ On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 9:43 AM, Eric Jonas <jo...@mit.edu> wrote: > I searched for a considerable amount of time this weekend, but have yet > to figure out how to do the following: > > I want to plot several M_i x N images side-by-side on a figure.
