That's strange. I don't see any problems with the figure size on my system.
This may seem like a silly question, but do you have the same sizing issue for
the following code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig=plt.figure(figsize=(7,4))
fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.1,hspace=0.1)
ax1=fig.add_subplot(221)
ax2=fig.add_subplot(222,sharex=ax1,sharey=ax1)
ax3=fig.add_subplot(223,sharex=ax1,sharey=ax1)
ax4=fig.add_subplot(224,sharex=ax1,sharey=ax1)
plt.savefig('test.pdf')
# works fine on my system with png, pdf, and eps
I just want to make sure you aren't altering the figure in any other way before
you save.
Are you using savefig or are you saving from a GUI window? Are you on a current
version of matplotlib (if yes, you might be interested in `plt.subplots` to
create your axes)? What image format are you using?
