Thanks, that allowed me to make some real progress, and worked to some degree. Here is the code I am using: figs = [x[0] for x in results] oldaxs = [fig.get_children()[1] for fig in figs] for fig, ax in zip(figs,oldaxs): fig.delaxes(ax) pl.close(fig) newf = pl.figure() for i,ax in enumerate(oldaxs): ax.set_figure(newf) newf.add_axes(ax) ax.change_geometry(2,2,i+1) pl.show() Unfortunately, there are some problems: - while the subplots are correct, they don't resize when I resize the window - the plots are bar graphs, only the first xtick label is there, the others are missing - top of the xaxis of the bottom row of plots overlaps with the bottom of the x axis of the top row - generally it looks pretty bad Since this approach is proving problematic, and sounds like it isn't really supported anyway (I had imagined it would be relatively straightforward) I think it would be better to try the other way (passing optional axes argument to plot to if I want it in a multi-subplot figure, otherwise just create a new figure). I would appreciate some pointers on how to do this. ie: fig = plot_data1(data1) # this should create a new figure obect and return it newfig = figure() sp1 = subplot(221) plot_data1(data1, axes=sp1) # this should plot the data on the provided subplot axes. However I do not know how to make the bar, title, xlabel, xtick etc. commands I am using from pylab within the function act on the specified subplot axes (if present). Is this possible?
