How to do it...

The following code block defines two 3 x 3 grids using GridSpec(). In grid1, we plot four graphs, each with different widths and heights. In grid2, we plot nine graphs, using width and height ratios, in such a way that the height is the same for all the graphs in a row, whereas the width is the same for all the graphs in a column:

1. Fix random state for reproducibility:

np.random.seed(19681211)

2. Define the style to be used in this session:

plt.style.use('seaborn')

3. Define the figure's size and define the layout:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(14,10))gs1 = GridSpec(ncols=3, nrows=3, left=0.05, right=0.5, wspace=0.2,                hspace=0.1)

4. Define an axes on the gs1:

ax1 = fig.add_subplot(gs1[0, 0])

5. Define an ellipse patch and add it to ...
