Matplotlib AxesGrid Toolkit
===========================
The matplotlib AxesGrid toolkit is a collection of helper classes to
ease displaying multiple images in matplotlib. While the aspect
parameter in matplotlib adjust the position of the single axes,
AxesGrid toolkit provides a framework to adjust the position of
multiple axes according to their aspects.
.. image:: ../../_static/demo_axes_grid.png
.. note::
AxesGrid toolkit has been a part of matplotlib since v
0.99. Originally, the toolkit had a single namespace of
*axes_grid*. In more recent version (since svn r8226), the toolkit
has divided into two separate namespace (*axes_grid1* and *axisartist*).
While *axes_grid* namespace is maintained for the backward compatibility,
use of *axes_grid1* and *axisartist* is recommended.
.. warning::
*axes_grid* and *axisartist* (but not *axes_grid1*) uses
a custom Axes class (derived from the mpl's original Axes class).
As a side effect, some commands (mostly tick-related) do not work.
Use *axes_grid1* to avoid this, or see how things are different in
*axes_grid* and *axisartist* (LINK needed)
