it is a valid way/I abuse inset axes a lot/I think it's okay since you're not removing the other one ways to do it - though I wonder then if there should be a top line explicit
For each method so it doesn't read like 5 ways to do the same thing. |

You uses 2/7 before = 0.285. Is there a reason to use 0.25 here? Probably insignificant, but maybe change them to be the same?

switched to 4:1 everywhere.

Currently, the scatter_hist example needs to force the main axes to be square by carefully adjusting the figure size -- shared axes and fixed aspects don't work well together (and manually resizing the figure shows that the aspect is indeed not fixed). In fact, the scatter_hist_locatable_axes example explicitly states that the advantage of using axes_grid1 is to allow the aspect to be fixed. I realized that one can also use inset_axes to position the marginals axes relative to the main axes *and* support a fixed aspect ratio for the main axes. Perhaps this can be considered as a slight API abuse, but I think this is a solution for a real limitation; the question is whether we want to promote this use?
