3d subplots, white space

Community matplotlib-users

Hi all,
I try to make a figure with 6 3d subplots.
My problem is that there is a lot white space around. I tried to play
with subplot_adjust, but without much success.
Any hints?
Thanks.

If I remember correctly, what happens is that the SubAxes class over-rides the rect argument to the Axes initializer because it is the position of the global axes box in figure coordinates (and therefore, for multiple subplots, it automatically determines the figure coordinates for each subplot). Unfortunately, it assumes a certain amount of margins to leave, which is applicible for 2d plots, but not for 3d plots.

I would bet that there is some way to mess around with the default gridspec parameters, but that is not in my area of expertise. If anybody who knows this sort of stuff can give me a clue about it, I would love to update mplot3d to have a better default subplot appearance.

Cheers!
