As far as I can see, you can't. The figure is deeply embedded in the Axes object; that's why the figure is an argument in Axes.__init__(). > Better yet, how can I assign an axe to a figure? I don't think you can. It looks to me like Axes.set_figure should be clearly marked as a private method, not to be used except in Axes.__init__(). Short of a major refactoring of mpl, I think you will need to find some other way of accomplishing your ultimate aim.
