Hi Robin,

I think I am up to date.

little once I saw them. I see now the thing to do (I think) is
print ax.get_position() # have a look
from matplotlib.transforms import Bbox
ax.set_position(Bbox([ [a, b], [c, d] ])) # with numbers changed
slightly from the printed onesAt the time I thought Bbox was a more internal thing so wanted a way
to convert Bbox to the format described in the docstring ([left,
bottom, width, height]). I think it would be nice if Bbox had some
method to give this (is Bbox.to_pos() ) or something... perhaps there
already is but I couldn't find it.
In the docstring of set_position it is also mentioned that a Bbox can be given
as pos.
Just one additional remark: You can also modify the returned Bbox and pass it
in again into set_position - something like
bb = ax.get_position()
# get an array holding the points:
a = bb.get_points()
# ... modify a ...
bb.set_points(a)
ax.set_position(bb)

Anyway now I learned Bbox I think it is actually a nicer way to think
about when doing it by hand (bottom left corner, top right corner).Thanks for your help,
