Asymmetrical arrangements of subplots

Dear all,

I have a small question about subplot. I want to avoid creating plot

axes manually using pylab.axes, to create an asymmetrical
arrangement of subplots like the following code in Matlab:

Is it possible in matplotlib?

Cheers,
Sebastian

Dear all,

I have a small question about subplot. I want to avoid creating plot axes
manually using pylab.axes, to create an asymmetrical arrangement of subplots
like the following code in Matlab:

text(.5,.5,'subplot(2,2,1:2)',...

subplot(2,2,3)

    'FontSize',14,'HorizontalAlignment','center')
subplot(2,2,4)
text(.5,.5,'subplot(2,2,4)',...
    'FontSize',14,'HorizontalAlignment','center')

Reference: Create axes in tiled positions - MATLAB subplot

Is it possible in matplotlib?

Easier done than explained:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.subplot(121)
plt.subplot(222)
plt.subplot(224)
plt.show()

Sebastian,

mpl 1.0.0 came with a powerful gridspec tool for more advanced handling of subplots. Maybe this will be of use to you?
