title: How to make one subplot image larger with imgshow, to align two images?
body: <p>I have a subplot of images and want to make the image on the left slightly larger, so that the axes line up. How can I do this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
  import matplotlib.image as mpimg
  
  img1 = mpimg.imread('../Reproducibility_Paper_Figures/noord_graph_image.png')
  img2 = mpimg.imread('../Reproducibility_Paper_Figures/full_comparison.png')
  
  
  f = plt.figure(figsize=(28.0,20.0))
  f.add_subplot(1,2,1)
  plt.imshow(img2,interpolation='none')
  plt.axis('off')
  f.add_subplot(1,2, 2)
  plt.imshow(img1,interpolation='none')
  plt.axis('off')
  #plt.show(block=True)
  
  f.tight_layout(pad=-5)
  plt.savefig('../Reproducibility_Paper_Figures/side.png')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The images look like:</p>
