I think the best approach is to use fig.add_axes rather than
fig.add_subplot to create your axes. Then you can make it the exact
size you want. You can also place the figure legend anywhere you want
by using loc=(x,y) instead of a location string. I just noticed this
was undocumented :-(. It *is* documented for the axes legend, and
I'll fix the figure legend docstring for the next release.
Here's a little example
import pylab as p
fig = p.figure()
ax = fig.add_axes([0.1, 0.3, 0.4, 0.4])
lines = ax.plot([1,2,3])
fig.legend(lines, ('hi', ), loc=(0.6, 0.6))
p.show()
Hope this helps,

Pitty that I can't have both. But I'll worry about this one when I actually do make use of the subplots.

You think I would have found it:)
