Hi, The excellent transformations tutorial http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/transforms_tutorial.html explained exactly what I needed to do to include inserts in my figures. Furthermore, it suggested to me that I should be able to do without some very ugly code I had written to convert the bounding box for a new axis instance from Axes coordinates to Figure coordinates, by simply writing
ax2 = fig.add_axes([l_axes,b_axes,width_axes,height_axes],transform=ax.transAxes) However, this doesn't seem to work. The workaround, suggested by Jae-Joon Lee earlier this year -- http://www.nabble.com/Adding-custom-axes-within-a-subplot-td22159536.html Bbox = matplotlib.transforms.Bbox.from_bounds(l_axes,b_axes,width_axes,height_axes) trans = ax.transAxes + fig.transFigure.inverted() l, b, w, h = matplotlib.transforms.TransformedBbox(Bbox, trans).bounds ax2 = fig.add_axes([l, b, w, h]) is far more elegant than my original code, but it seems a pity that fig.add_axes can't accept the transform directly.
