I just incremented NROW by one, and for the colorbar axes creation, changed it to be: ax5=FIG.add_subplot(NROW,1,NROW)
which is a quick way to get the last row to span both columns. (I had to comment some things out to get the plot to run without needing the data). > I tried using mpl.colorbar.ColorbarBase as given in > http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/colorbar_only.html example to > draw the colorbar.

There, the axes are created to not overlap by hand tuning the rectangle parameters passed (left, bottom, width, top). You can get the same using the trick I used above, or get more sophisticated combinations using GridSpec [1], or if you want to get even fancier, with the AxesGrid toolkit [2] 1. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/gridspec.html 2. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/index.html#toolkit-axes best, -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7
