If you are creating subplots, you can do
rows, cols, num = ax.get_geometry()
You can also change the geometry with set_geometry.
There are a couple of Subplot helper functions you may find useful, eg
to selectively apply x and ylabeling:
def is_first_col(self):
return self.colNum==0
def is_first_row(self):
return self.rowNum==0
def is_last_row(self):
return self.rowNum==self.numRows-1
def is_last_col(self):
return self.colNum==self.numCols-1
