I'm afraid that you may not be able to do those with the subplot. If you want a fixed size axes, you need to manually calculate the axes position (in normalized figure coordinates) using the figure size.
You may use my helper class which support a fixed-size axes. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/178748/mpl/axes_divider.py import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from axes_divider import make_axes_locatable fig1 = plt.figure(1, (6, 6)) ax = fig1.add_subplot(1, 1, 1) divider = make_axes_locatable(ax) # make a new axes with fixed height (1 inch) above ax ax2 = divider.new_vertical(size=1, pad=0.1, sharex=ax) # size in inches fig1.add_axes(ax2) plt.show() Regardless of the figure size, ax2 will always have 1 inch height and ax will have the rest of the subplot area.
