As you first tried (with your example with axes_grid), labelpad parameter does what you want. plt.xlabel("xlabel", labelpad=0) or ax.xaxis.labelpad = 0 It didn't work in your previous example because you were using axes_grid toolkit, that simply ignores this parameter. Also, see this http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#align-my-ylabels-across-multiple-subplots Regards, -JJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
