You could try

    fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=5, sharex=True, sharey=True)

And then call `axes[0].plot(...)` and `axes[1].imshow(...)`. You could also
unpack the axes array and access them that way (if you prefer):

    ax0, ax1, ax2, ax3, ax4 = axes
    ax0.plot(...)

I've converted a simple MATLAB script [1] for wavelet decomposition-based
analysis to Python.  I now want to create figures similar to [2] that
feature five subplots in one column, with the 1st and 3rd being generated
using 'subplot.plot' and the others being generated using 'subplot.imshow'.  

I want to find a way of scaling the  x and y axes of all subplots so that
they're the same size on screen across all subplots.  Unfortunately I can't
find any combination of 'aspect' or 'extent' that will let me do this.  I
should note that I've added colorbars to all my image plots; the problem
exists regardless of whether these are used.

Has anyone got any suggestions?  Apologies if this is a trivial matter; I'm
fairly new to MP.

FYI I'm using matplotlib v1.1.0.

Have you tried setting the color argument in fillcontinents() with a RGBA
tuple?  Even if that doesn't work, you still have a list of
matplotlib.patches.Polygon objects being returned by the function.  You
could then call set_alpha() on each of them to a transparency value of
choice.

I hope that helps!
