    'right', 'r'

    bottom

    'bottom', 'b'

  • width (float or str, optional) – The panel width. Default is rc['subplots.panelwidth'] = 0.5. If float, units are inches. If string, interpreted by units.

  • space (float or str, optional) – The fixed space between the main subplot and the panel. If float, units are em-widths. If string, interpreted by units. When the tight layout algorithm is active for the figure, this is adjusted automatically using pad. Otherwise, a suitable default is selected.

  • pad (float or str, optional) – The tight layout padding between the main subplot and the panel. Units are interpreted by units. Default is rc['subplots.panelpad'] = 0.5.

  • share (bool, optional) – Whether to enable axis sharing between the x and y axes of the main subplot and the panel long axes for each panel in the stack. Sharing between the panel short axis and other panel short axes is determined by figure-wide sharex and sharey settings.
