mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1

:mod:mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 provides a framework of helper classes to adjust the positioning of multiple fixed-aspect Axes (e.g., displaying images). It can be contrasted with the aspect property of Matplotlib Axes, which adjusts the position of a single Axes.

See :ref:axes_grid1_users-guide-index for a guide on the usage of axes_grid1.
