space between subplots

Hi everyone, When you draw a picture with subplots, you can

Call subplots_adjust(hspace=0.1), etc.

This is a pylab method that applies to the current figure

fig = figure()
subplots_adjust(hspace=0.1)

or if you prefer a Figure method

  fig.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.1)

The default values are set in your matplotlibrc file
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc

    # The figure subplot parameters. All dimensions are fraction of the
    # figure width or height
    figure.subplot.left : 0.125 # the left side of the subplots of the figure
    figure.subplot.right : 0.9 # the right side of the subplots of the figure
    figure.subplot.bottom : 0.1 # the bottom of the subplots of the figure
    figure.subplot.top : 0.9 # the top of the subplots of the figure
    figure.subplot.wspace : 0.2 # the amount of width reserved for blank space between subplots
    figure.subplot.hspace : 0.2 # the amount of height reserved for white space between subplots
