In the docstring of set_position it is also mentioned that a Bbox can be given as pos.
Just one additional remark: You can also modify the returned Bbox and pass it in again into set_position - something like bb = ax.get_position() # get an array holding the points: a = bb.get_points() # ... modify a ... bb.set_points(a) ax.set_position(bb) best regards Matthias > Anyway now I learned Bbox I think it is actually a nicer way to think > about when doing it by hand (bottom left corner, top right corner). > > Thanks for your help, > > Robin > > > The object returned by get_position is "A mutable bounding box.", which > > is also supported in set_position.
