thanks very much. Using expand_subplot for that purpose worked great, but I am now trying a variant of this and am having trouble getting it to work.
I'd like to create a subplot that has two parts: the left part is a square plot, and the right part is a 2x2 set of square subplots. Something like this: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk_archive_ja_JP/r2007/help/toolbox/matlab/ref/image/subplot_vert.gif Except the left hand plot should have square axes. just imagine taking a square plot and putting it on the left, and then making a 2x2 subplot, which each subplot is less than 1/4 the size of the square plot on the left, and putting that on the right hand panel. is there a way to do this in matplotlib? thanks.
