Is it possible to insert an image in subplots? If it is, could some examples
and possible documentation links be provided.
Thx
Ted

Hello,
I would like to create subplots with different sizes using the object
oriented API. However, it seems that the subplot2grid() method exists
only in pyplot, but not as a Figure instance method. Am I looking in the
wrong place? How do I use subplot2grid with an existing Figure object?
Thanks,
 -Nikolaus

Just got a little bit of spare time and looked up some words and
remembered what I wrote you.
I just want to clarify:
1) Not YOU are buggin us/me. Just the subject is keeping us writing
emails to bugged users.
2) I used this word (to bug) in the wrong sense. I looked it up now
and it was not what I intended. I meant it as a derivative from "the
bug", which is indeed a nice pun as I recognise from this.
Sorry if you're feeling a bit offended because of this, I guess I was
not in good mood,
Friedrich
