See the Axes.change_geometry command http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.SubplotBase.change_geometry As in this example:: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # start with one fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.plot([1,2,3]) # now later you get a new subplot; change the geometry of the existing n = len(fig.axes) for i in range(n): fig.axes[i].change_geometry(n+1, 1, i+1) # add the new ax = fig.add_subplot(n+1, 1, n+1) ax.plot([4,5,6]) plt.show() JDH > > Thanks. > > -Tom > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises > looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest > innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
