I figured it out.
Specifically, I need to use pylab.Axes(figure, [left, bottom, width,
height]) where each value in the frame is between 0 and 1
[.2,.1,.7,.8]
means
20 percent margin on left
10 percent margin on bottom
10 percent margin on right (1 - .2 - .7)
10 percent margin on top (1 - .1 - .8)
figure = pylab.figure()
axes = pylab.Axes(figure, [.2,.1,.7,.8]) # [left, bottom, width, height]
where each value is between 0 and 1
figure.add_axes(axes)
axes.barh(selectedFeatureNumbers, alphas, align='center')
axes.set_xlabel('Weights set by ViolaJones')
axes.set_title(title)
axes.set_yticks(selectedFeatureNumbers)
axes.set_yticklabels([dictionary[x][0] for x in selectedFeatureNumbers])
for tick in axes.yaxis.get_major_ticks(): tick.label1.set_fontsize(6)
pylab.savefig('%s.png' % title)
