Hi John,
Thanks for taking the time to answer a badly formulated question. With your
indications, I have been able to get an example working.
The point was that I had a function with a number of arguments that returned
a subplot(111) instance. Inside this function there are thousands of calls
to plot, there are labels and a title. I called the function from my main
script, called savefig and stored the figure. Now I want to compare two such
figures side by side, and ideally tweak the axes so they are identical.
Here is what I came up with your help:
def make_complicated_graph(x, sub = None):
 s = sub or subplot(111)
 s.plot(x)
 s.set_title('test12')
 s.set_xlabel('T')
 s.set_ylabel('Y')
 s.scatter([3,4], [5,2], s= 5, c='r')
 if sub is None:
 return s
fig = figure(1)
s1 = subplot(2,1,1)
s2 = subplot(2,1,2)
make_complicated_graph(arange(5), sub = s1)
make_complicated_graph(arange(10), sub = s2)
s1.set_xlim(s2.get_xlim())
show()
Thanks again for your help.
David
