add_axes()

Help on method add_axes in module matplotlib.figure:

add_axes(self, *args, **kwargs) method of matplotlib.figure.Figure instance
    Add an axes at position *rect* [*left*, *bottom*, *width*,
    *height*] where all quantities are in fractions of figure
    width and height.  kwargs are legal
    :class:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes` kwargs plus *projection* which
    sets the projection type of the axes.  (For backward
    compatibility, ``polar=True`` may also be provided, which is
    equivalent to ``projection='polar'``).  Valid values for
    *projection* are: [u'aitoff', u'hammer', u'lambert', u'mollweide', u'polar', u'rectilinear'].  Some of these
    projections support  additional kwargs, which may be provided
    to :meth:`add_axes`. Typical usage::

        rect = l,b,w,h
        fig.add_axes(rect)
        fig.add_axes(rect, frameon=False, axisbg='g')
        fig.add_axes(rect, polar=True)
        fig.add_axes(rect, projection='polar')
        fig.add_axes(ax)

    If the figure already has an axes with the same parameters,
