 > The height of the padding between subplots, as a fraction of the average Axes height.
 
+The parameter meanings (and suggested defaults) are:​
 
+```python
+left = 0.125  # the left side of the subplots of the figure​
+right = 0.9   # the right side of the subplots of the figure​
+bottom = 0.1  # the bottom of the subplots of the figure​
+top = 0.9     # the top of the subplots of the figure​
+wspace = 0.2  # the amount of width reserved for space between subplots,​
+              # expressed as a fraction of the average axis width​
+hspace = 0.2  # the amount of height reserved for space between subplots,​
+              # expressed as a fraction of the average axis height
+```
 
+```python
+import numpy as np
+
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
